North Hessary Tor is a hill 517 metres high just above Dartmoor Prison, in Princetown within Dartmoor Forest civil parish, which is in the borough of West Devon, Devon, England ({{gbmapping|SX578742}}). The tor is one of the boundary points mentioned in the perambulations of the Forest of Dartmoor.[1]

Situated on the summit is the North Hessary Tor transmitting station - an FM radio and television transmitter which uses a {{convert|196|m|ft|0}} high guyed mast. It was built by the BBC in 1955 when a transmitter was needed to introduce 405 line television into Devon. It now carries a small UHF TV transmitter which serves Princetown and Dartmoor. FM radio transmissions began in 1956 and cover most of Devon and eastern parts of Cornwall.
