Pig's Bay is the site of a large Ministry of Defence site, situated near Shoeburyness in Essex, England.

One of the current uses of the site, is for the storage and scrapping of old railway vehicles. It has its own private railway network, stretching for somewhere in the region of six miles, which is linked to one of the sidings at Network Rail's Shoeburyness c2c electrical multiple unit depot by means of a level crossing across Shoeburyness High Street.

The site is also used by QinetiQ as a weapons testing facility, and has featured in a few episodes of the Channel 4 series Scrapheap Challenge.
