Damnation Festival is a yearly heavy metal music festival held each November at the Bowlers Exhibition Centre (BEC) in Manchester, England. It is described as the biggest indoor extreme metal festival in Europe, with more than 40 bands playing on three stages and a capacity of about 6,000 attendees.

Damnation was first held at Jilly's Rockworld in Manchester from 2005 to 2006 and then at the University of Leeds from 2007 until 2021, before moving to the larger BEC arena and becoming a two-day event. It is organized by Gavin McInally and Paul Farrington.
