Betampona Reserve is a nature reserve in the Atsinanana Region of Madagascar. It is located 40 km northwest of Toamasina and was established in 1927. The area of the reserve is 29.2 km.
Like most of the geology of the central and eastern coasts of Madagascar, Betampona consists of metamorphic and igneous rocks of the precambrian basement.
