Hurn (parish) is a small, mainly rural civil parish in the unitary authority of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole in Dorset, England, situated a few miles north of Bournemouth and just west of Christchurch. The parish combines farmland, hedgerows and small woodlands with the low-lying valley of the River Stour nearby, giving it a quiet, village feel while remaining within easy reach of the south coast and the New Forest.
Local identity and economy are strongly influenced by Bournemouth Airport, originally RAF Hurn during the Second World War, and there are notable historic buildings such as Hurn Court and St Mary's Church. Many residents commute to Bournemouth and Poole, while agriculture, small businesses and airport-related services shape day-to-day community life.
