Atomium är ett 102 meter högt byggnadsverk och monument beläget i Belgiens huvudstad Bryssel. Det skapades inför Världsutställningen i Bryssel 1958 (Expo 58) och har blivit en symbol för Bryssel. Byggnaden formgavs av och består av nio stålsfärer (ursprungligen av aluminium) som bundits samman så att hela verket bildar en järnkristall förstorad 165 miljarder gånger.
