The United States Penitentiary, Hazelton (USP Hazelton) is a high-security United States federal prison for male inmates in West Virginia.

It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. The facility has a satellite prison camp for minimum-security male offenders.
The facility is located in an unincorporated area of Preston County, West Virginia, several miles east of Bruceton Mills, less than two miles (3.2 km) west of the Maryland border.
The Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) Hazelton has two prisons, physically adjacent but distinct: USP Hazelton and the medium-security Federal Hazelton constructed in 2015. Both are operated by the FBOP.
