The Belmont Transmitter is a television and radio tower, located near the village of Donington on Bain, near the market Rasen and Louth in Lincolnshire, England. With 385 m, it is the tallest structure in the United Kingdom and the European Union. It entered service in December of 1965.

An identical tower was built in 1964 at Emley, but collapsed due to heavy frosts and gales in 1969. In 1967 a meteorological team was added to the mast, extending its height to 388 m.

It is currently used to broadcast analogue and digital television and radio signals in the region of Lincolnshire.
