Terminal Tower: An Archival Collection is a compilation album by American rock band Pere Ubu. Released in 1985, the album compiles several of the band's early singles and B-sides, including the Hearthan Records singles recorded with founding member Peter Laughner that were initially compiled on the EP Datapanik in the Year Zero and continuing through later sides recorded with Mayo Thompson.

The original American Twin Tone LP and CD releases of the album both played at a slightly slower speed than the original recordings throughout, had the left and right channels reversed, and suffered from generally poor sound quality. Most of the compilation was properly remastered for the Datapanik in the Year Zero box set, and all subsequent reissues of the compilation have used that corrected master.
