WSB TV Tower is a 327.6 metres (1,075 ft) free-standing lattice tower in Atlanta, Georgia, the tallest structure in Georgia.

WSB TV Tower was built in 1957 and at its completion was the tallest free-standing lattice tower in the United States. It is a free-standing lattice tower with a triangular cross section.

This tower is so close to Freedom Parkway that one of its three sets of guy-wires goes over the road. To prevent falling ice in winter, the roadway is covered by a "tunnel" of sorts. 33°45′51″N 84°21′42″W / 33.76417°N 84.36167°W / 33.76417; -84.36167 (WSB-TV tower) FM TV
