Belton House is a stately home near Grantham, Lincolnshire, England, in the care of the National Trust.

The house was built between 1685 and 1688 for Sir John Brownlow. It is one of the finest examples of Restoration style architecture, and is often considered to be the epitome of the English country house.

The gardens are expansive, measuring 36 acres (14 ha), and semi-formal, with a wide range of features of various periods and styles. Among the more notable is the orangery.

The park is extensive, including valley bottom and hillside land.
