Sneinton Asylum was a psychiatric hospital at Sneinton in Nottingham.

The Nottingham General Lunatic Asylum was the first such asylum to open in the United Kingdom.^[1] It was designed by Richard Ingleman of Southwell.^[1] The foundation stone was laid on 31 May 1810 and the first patients were admitted in February 1812.^[2] The facility initially accommodated 80 patients.^[1]

As demand for places increased additional facilities were required and it became necessary to augment capacity by establishing the Coppice Lunatic Hospital in 1859 and the Mapperley Asylum in 1880.^[1]

The facility eventually reached a state of decay and after services transferred to Saxondale Hospital near Radcliffe-on-Trent, the hospital closed in 1902.^[1] The asylum at Sneinton was later converted into a boarding school named King Edward's School.^[3] The school has since been demolished and the area has been redeveloped to create a recreation facility now known as King Edward Park.^[4]
