La tour Duchesne (tour du Chesne, de la Vieille Monnaie ou à Piron) est une tour du XV^e siècle située à Rennes à proximité de la porte Mordelaise. Elle tire son nom de Jehan du Chesne, grand portier de Rennes et premier habitant de la tour, lequel était chargé de l'ouverture et de la fermeture des portes de la ville. Aujourd'hui intégrée à l'hôtel d'Artillerie, la tour est inscrite au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 13 mars 1944.

Elle se situe sur la première enceinte des remparts de Rennes qui date du III^e siècle mais a été reconstruite entre 1447 à 1459 à la même époque que la deuxième enceinte et la porte Mordelaise.
