RRH Neatishead (/ˈnitɪshɛd/ NEET-is-hed) is a Royal Air Force Remote Radar Head in the English county of Norfolk, East Anglia established during the Second World War. It consists of the main technical site, and a number of remote, and sometimes unmanned sites.

The station motto is Caelum Tuemur, meaning "We Watch over the Sky". The station crest depicts the lowered head of a horned bull; and relates to the origins of the word "Neatishead", deriving from old Anglo Saxon language "Nethes Herda", meaning the "abode of the keeper of cattle". It is a co-incidence that Neatishead is near the village of Horning.

The primary function of Neatishead was as a "Control and Reporting Centre" (CRC) for the south of the United Kingdom; it forms a part of the UK's air defences - namely the UK "Air Surveillance And Control System" (ASACS), and is part of the larger NATO air defence. It uses radar, ground-to-air radio and digitally encrypted data links.

Equipment previously located in the base included: Type 7 Radar, FPS 6 height finding radar, Type 80 "Green Garlic" radar, Type 84 radar, Type 85 "Blue Yeoman" radar and a R15 Radar.
