Billing Aquadrome is a leisure park in Great Billing, in the eastern district of Northampton, England. Facilities within the 235 acre (1 km²) park, which is based around various mature gravel pits, include a caravan site, marina and funfair. It is also home to a variety of shows throughout the year, which are often car or motorsport related, such as the world's largest annual Land Rover show and the American Car Show. It also hosts the Northamptonshire Balloon Festival.

At the edge of the park is the popular Billing Mill, a family pub, which is housed in a converted water-mill. At one time it was reported to be one of the highest grossing pubs in the UK^{[citation needed]}.

Billing Aquadrome is steeped in carp fishing history, with Chris Yates catching a UK record carp at over 40 pounds many years ago from the Lilly lake on the complex. In more recent times the Park is a great location for families to enjoy some coarse fishing.
