The Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes (ING) consists of the 4.2 metre William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and the 2.5 metre Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), operating on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, Spain. The INT began scheduled use by the astronomical community in May 1984 and the WHT in August 1987.

The ING is owned by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC-UKRI) of the United Kingdom, and it is operated jointly with the Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO) of the Netherlands and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) of Spain. The STFC-UKRI, the NWO, and the IAC have entered into collaborative agreements for the operation of and the sharing of observing time on the ING telescopes. IAC's contribution to ING is funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.

The telescopes are located at a height of 2350 metres above the sea level in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) on La Palma, Canary Islands, which is operated by the IAC. Among highlights from the ING telescopes were the first identification of the optical outburst of a gamma ray burster, leading to its location in a distant galaxy, or the observational contribution to the discovery of the acceleration of the universe (Supernova Cosmology Project, Physics Nobel Prize 2011).

The ING Board has been set up to oversee the operation of this agreement, to foster and develop collaboration between the astronomers of the UK, the Netherlands and Spain, and to ensure that the telescope installations are maintained in the forefront of world astronomy. In particular the ING Board oversees the programme of operation, maintenance, and development of the installations, approves annual budgets, and forward estimates and determines the arrangements for the allocation of observing time.
