Sahlenburg Marine Radio Station was a facility of Elbe-Weser Radio in Sahlenburg, an urban part of Cuxhaven, Germany, for marine radio service in short- and mediumwave range. Sahlenburg Marine Radio Station used first a triangular antenna, which was fixed on three guyed wooden masts, each 40 metres tall, which were erected in 1929.

In 1937 these masts were replaced by three 50-metre tall free-standing wood towers with triangular cross sections, which also carried a triangular antenna. In 1967 two of these towers were dismantled and the other was equipped with a long wire antenna.

In 1970 this tower was demolished when two 67-metre tall guyed insulated mast radiators were built. Since the shut-down of Sahlenburg Marine Radio Station, they are used for mobile phone services.
