Abode318 is a residential skyscraper developed by PDG Corporation and Schiavello and designed by Elenberg Fraser and Disegno Australia in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. As of November 2026^[update], the skyscraper is the 40th-tallest building in Melbourne.

Initially proposed in 2007, and named the Barton Tower, the skyscraper anticipated the current trend of "skinny skyscrapers" proposed in Melbourne. The building features a "curving exterior" which is illuminated by 10 millimetres of rose coloured glass, incorporating thermal properties that insulate the skyscraper. Abode318 comprises 450 apartments across 57 levels, and reaches a height of 187.3 metres (615 ft). The project received approval by then-Planning Minister Matthew Guy in 2011, with construction commencing later that year. At a cost of A$136 million, the building topped-out in late 2014, and was completed by early 2015. At the time of its completion, Abode318 was the 10th-tallest building in Melbourne; additionally, it became the first building since the 2006 completion of the Eureka Tower to be listed in the "10-tallest buildings of Melbourne".
