Manhattan Tower was a Patti Page LP album, issued by Mercury Records. The album was originally issued in October 1956 as a vinyl LP.[2] It is her version of Gordon Jenkins' popular 1948/1956 Manhattan Tower suite.

Billboard liked the album commenting, inter alia, "Gordon Jenkins' new, expanded "Manhattan Tower" score soon to be showcased, via a TV spectacular is handed a class A vocal treatment by Patti Page, who sings 11 tunes...from the score with her usual good taste, technical know-how and warm sincerity..."[3]

The album was reissued, combined with the 1956 Patti Page album You Go to My Head, in compact disc format, by Sepia Records on September 4, 2007.
