A '''electricity pylon''' (colloquially termed a '''transmission tower''' in the [[Wikipedia:United Kingdom|United Kingdom]] and termed the first in parts of [[Europe]], an '''ironman''' in [[Australia]], and a '''hydro tower''' in parts of [[Canada]]) is a tall structure, usually a steel lattice tower, used to support an overhead power line. They are used in high-voltage AC and DC systems, and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Typical height ranges from 15 to 55 metres (49 to 180 ft), although heights in excess of 300 metres (980 ft) exist. In addition to steel, other materials may be used, including concrete and wood.

Four major functions of electricity pylon are in use: suspension towers, terminal towers, tension towers, and transposition towers. Some electricity pylons combine these basic functions. Electricity pylons and their overhead power lines are often considered to be a form of visual pollution. Methods to reduce the visual impact include undergrounding.
