Betty's Hope is an historic sugar plantation in Antigua. It is located at coord|17|4|0|N|61|44|0|W, [cite web |title=NGA GEOnet Names Server |publisher=National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency |date=2008-07-07 |url=http://www.nima.mil/gns/html/index.html |accessdate=2008-07-22] close to the township of Pares.

Betty's Hope was the first large-scale sugar plantation to operate in Antigua, being founded in 1674. The plantation was developed by Leeward Islands Governor Christopher Codrington, after whom the largest settlement on Barbuda is named.

Betty's Hope has long since ceased to operate as a plantation, and is today an open-air museum.
