Cory Hightower (born July 30, 1979) is a professional basketball player who was selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the second round (54th pick) in the 2000 NBA draft.

Hightower and fellow 2000 NBA Draftee Chris Carrawell were the only players that the Spurs drafted that year, and neither one of them ever played a game in the league.

Hightower would continue to leap around the CBA for the next few years, playing for the Great Lakes Storm, Yakima Sun Kings, and Michigan Mayhem.

In 2004, Hightower began playing overseas for teams such as Marinos de Anzoátegui in Venezuela.

Hightower also played for the Albany Patroons of the United States Basketball League.
