Bellemonte, also known as Dr. John F. Bellamy House, is a historic plantation house located at Rocky Mount, Nash County, North Carolina. The main block dates to 1817, and is a two-story, five-bay, late Georgian / Federal-style frame dwelling.

The façade features a two-tier, Chippendale-inspired portico. The house has a two-story rear ell, built about 1820, that was attached to Bellemonte between 1840 and 1860. Also on the property is a contributing dependency.[2]
