Bellamont House (sometimes Bellamont Forest) is a Georgian Palladian-style house set amongst 1,000 acres (400 hectares) of grounds in Cootehill, County Cavan, Ireland. The house was completed in 1730 for Judge Thomas Coote and likely designed by his nephew, the architect Edward Lovett Pearce.
It is considered to be one of the finest and earliest examples of Palladian architecture in Ireland, and was originally loosely modelled on Andrea Palladio's Villa La Rotonda in Vicenza, Italy.
The name of the house is a reference to the Earl of Bellomont.
