The decision came as way to honor Queen Elizabeth II during her Diamond Jubilee.
Elizabeth has served as Queen for sixty years.
Victoria Tower had originally been named King's Tower, but was renamed after Queen Victoria when she reached her own Diamond Jubilee.
The tower is part of the Parliament building, but is most famous for what is in the tower, Big Ben.
Many people thought that the renaming was happening to Ben, but Big Ben is actually the bell which is housed inside the tower.
A ceremony is being planned now, for the renaming, which Parliament and the Queen shall all attend.
