The Great Orlando Wheel or Orlando Great Wheel is a proposed 400-foot (122-meter) observation wheel in Orange County, Florida, United States, near Orlando. It is scheduled to open in 2010.

The Wheel will provide a 25-mile (40 km) view of Central Florida attractions like SeaWorld, Universal Studios and Walt Disney World, as well as firework displays and rocket launches from Kennedy Space Center. It will include an integrated terminal building with commercial and retail facilities.

Located adjacent to the Orlando–Orange County Convention Center, the attraction is near Interstate 4, SeaWorld and International Drive.

It is being built by the Great Wheel Corporation which also built the Singapore Flyer and the proposed Great Berlin Wheel which will be 185m and the Great Beijing Wheel which will be 208m.
