Faccombe is a village and civil parish in Hampshire, England, on the Hampshire-Berkshire border and the North Downs. Andover lies away; Newbury in Berkshire is closer.

The village was originally called "Faccombe Upstrete" in medieval times to distinguish it from Netherton, Hampshire, a village lower in the valley. The village was the home of Timothy Landon, a British officer instrumental to the modern history of Oman. thumb|Faccombe Manor (2005) by Pam Brophy The village has an inn, The Jack Russell Inn. thumb|Village Road (2026) by Federico Tak ==Landmarks== A large part of the parish is part of the Faccombe Estate which is used for shooting and includes a wind turbine.
