Pye Green BT Tower is a {{convert|96.9|m|ft|0}} tall{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} telecommunication tower built of reinforced concrete at Pye Green, Staffordshire, England ({{gbmapping|SJ987142}}). Standing in Cannock Chase it is one of fourteen telecommunication towers in the United Kingdom built of reinforced concrete. Pye Green was constructed as part of the British Cold War "Backbone" radio communications network.

Its combination of elevation and height give it line-of-sight to the BT Tower in Birmingham.

Was famously photographed from the moon by Neil Armstrong in 1969.
