Upper Farringdon is a small rural village in the district of East Hampshire, in Hampshire, England. It sits on rolling chalk downland on the eastern fringes of the South Downs National Park, surrounded by arable fields, hedgerows and small copses, and is popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet countryside base.

Historically a farming settlement with medieval origins, the village still shows traditional flint, brick and thatch architecture and a few listed buildings. The local economy remains largely agricultural with some equestrian and small-business activity, while many residents commute to nearby market towns; community life is typically centred on the village hall, local pub and the network of footpaths and country pursuits that define much of rural Hampshire.
