Tuomastornit is an observation tower located in Padasjoki, Finland.[1] The observation is about 14 meters tall and it was completed in 2013.[2] The tower is built mainly of glued laminated timber which ensures it can endure large number of visitors.[2]

The observation tower has two parts: lower Pikku-Tuomas (little Tuomas) and taller Iso-Tuomas (Big Tuomas).[1] Tuomas is a male given name common in Finland. It is the Finnish version of the name Thomas.
