Pic de Nore transmitter is a facility for FM/TV transmission situated on the mountain of same name at 43°25'29"N 2°27'47"E, in the Montagne Noire, on the border of the Aude and Tarn departments, near to the Parc naturel régional du Haut-Languedoc in southern France. It uses a 102 metres tall concrete tower.

The stump of the old tower still exists and is today used for mobile phone transmission.
