Belvedere House and Gardens is a famous country house located near Mullingar, in county Westmeath, Ireland. Its gardens which include The Jealous Wall and many acres of forest, attract thousands of visitors annually for their beauty. The house has been restored fully and the grounds are well maintained.

The main property was initially built by Robert Rochfort, a landlord, in the 18th century.

James Sadler, an English balloonist, started a balloon flight from here on 1 October 1812 in an attempt to cross the Irish Sea. However, he almost drowned as a result.
