The Belanjong pillar, also Blanjong pillar or Blanjong inscription (Indonesian: Prasasti Blanjong), is a pillar established in 914 CE in the harbour of Belanjong, in the southern area of Sanur in Bali.

The pillar was established by King Sri Kesari Warmadewa, the first king of the Balinese Warmadewa dynasty, and bears a long inscription where the king describes his military campaign on the island. It is located in the Belanjong (Blanjong) Temple, where it is housed under a protective enclosure and is often decorated and partially covered with devotional cloth.

The pillar was only discovered in 1932,^[2] and has remained where it was initially found.
