Swingate Transmitter is a facility for FM-transmission at Swingate, UK (national grid reference: TR334429 ). It uses three lattice towers as transmission towers with a height of 111 metres, which were built for Chain Home radar before World War II.

It is the only radar tower from the Battle of Britain in WWII still in use today.
