Blacktoft Sands RSPB reserve is a nature reserve in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, which leases the site from Associated British Ports.
The site is on the southern bank of the Ouse, opposite the village of Blacktoft, and is a wetland. Being at the beginning of the Humber estuary, the water is slightly saline.
The reserve's tidal reedbed is the largest in England. It is known for its wetland breeding birds, including marsh harrier, bittern and bearded tit. In 2015, it was reported that some Montagu's harrier were nesting at Blacktoft.
