Hut Bottom round barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound situated in Wiltshire, England. The monument represents a typical example of the round barrow tradition of the second millennium BC, a period when such earthen mounds served as prominent ceremonial burial structures within the landscape.

Its designation as a scheduled monument reflects its importance to the archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practice in the region.
