The Sutton Coldfield transmitting station is a broadcasting and telecommunications facility located in north Sutton Coldfield, in Birmingham, England.

A new mast was built around 1983 to replace the original structure, primarily to support new mixed-polarisation FM antennas. In terms of population covered, it is the second most important transmitter in the UK, after Crystal Palace in London.
