RRH Neatishead is a Royal Air Force Station situated 15 miles to the North-East of Norwich, Norfolk. Once a large Station acting as a Control and Reporting Centre for the South of the United Kingdom, it has since been reduced substantially and now maintains a Remote Radar Head (RRH) status.

The primary role of RRH Neatishead is the provision of Radar, ground to air and data links coverage as part of the United Kingdom Air Surveillance and Control System (UKASACS).

RRH Neatishead consists of a number of sites though operations are mainly centred at Neatishead Main Site and Trimingham.

Trimingham, situated on the Norfolk coast just outside the village of Mundesley, is home to the Type 93 Radar. Controlled and maintained by a section of Radar Technicians and Operators and supported by a team of Ground Engineers, the Radar provides extensive coverage of the East coast of the UK and helps contribute to the recognised air picture of the United Kingdom.

The main site at Neatishead, manned by a team of Technicians, provides constant, secure and reliable ground to air communications and data links coverage for a wide area of the United Kingdom, enabling communication between the Control and Reporting Centres and aircraft operating in UK airspace. The main site is also home to the support element of RRH Neatishead. Here a team of Suppliers, MT personnel, Administration staff and contractors contribute to the running of the Station.
