Bransholme water works is a surface water storage and pumping station serving the Bransholme and Kingswood estates in Kingston upon Hull, England. The facility was originally built in the late 1960s for both surface and waste water, and included a storage lagoon and sewage works – the sewage works was replaced c. 2000 by a large waste water treatment facility near Saltend near the banks of the Humber Estuary.

The current (2015) facility pumps and stores surface water, discharging into the River Hull. Waste water is pumped to a sewage works near Saltend.

Waste water treatment in the Bransholme and Kingswood areas of Hull is separated from that of the rest of Hull. Separate surface water and foul water systems drain to the facility at Bransholme. Surface water is discharged into the River Hull, with an intermediate storage lagoon used to store water when river levels are high. Foul water is pumped to the 'Humbercare' sewage works near Saltend.
