Broadmoor Hospital is a high-security psychiatric hospital located in Berkshire, England. It is the oldest of its kind. It is managed by the NHS.

First known as the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum, the hospital was completed in 1863. The first patient was a female admitted for infanticide. The hospital was expanded over the years. During the first world war, Broadmoor was also used as a prison-of-war camp for mentally ill German soldiers.

After a high profile escape in 1952, the hospital set up an alarm system which alerts people nearby and in surrounding town if a potentially dangerous patient has escaped. All schools in the area were also instructed to ensure that if a patient escapes no child is ever out of direct supervision.

Broadmoor uses a combination of medication, psychotherapy and occupational therapy. Due to its high walls, security features and numbers of high profile criminals sent there, Broadmoor is sometimes, incorrectly, assumed to be a prison. It is, however, primarily an institute to support the mentally unwell rather than a prison.
