Old Basing is a large village on the eastern edge of Basingstoke within the borough of Basingstoke and Deane in Hampshire, England. It sits in the small valley of the River Loddon and retains a compact centre of mostly 18th- and 19th-century buildings, a village green, independent shops and pubs, with convenient commuter links into Basingstoke and beyond.

Historically the village is dominated by the dramatic ruins and parkland of Basing House, once one of the largest Tudor houses and a notable English Civil War stronghold, which gives the area a strong heritage draw. Today Old Basing combines a lively local community, riverside walks and small businesses with a steady number of commuters, so you get a blend of village atmosphere and easy access to urban amenities.
