The village of Cliddesden is a small rural settlement and civil parish in the borough of Basingstoke and Deane, in Hampshire, England, lying a few miles south of Basingstoke. Perched on gentle chalk downland, it comprises a mix of historic cottages and farms alongside some modern housing; the local economy is largely agricultural and residential, with many people commuting into the nearby town.

Cliddesden has a strong community feel centred on its village hall and local events, and walkers value the quiet lanes and views across the downs. The village also has a touch of transport history: the former Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway once had a station here and traces of the line can still be found, adding a hint of industrial heritage to an otherwise typically Hampshire village.
