Faccombe is a village and civil parish in Hampshire, England. The village lies on the Hampshire-Berkshire border and is situated on the North Downs. Its nearest Hampshire town is Andover, approximately 8 miles (13 km) away although Newbury in Berkshire is 2 miles (3.2 km) 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.

The village has an inn, The Jack Russell Inn.

A large part of the parish is part of the Faccombe Estate which is used for shooting and includes a wind turbine. The estate was formerly owned by Brigadier Timothy Landon.

The parish includes parts, although not the summits, of Combe Hill and Pilot Hill. Pilot Hill is the county top of Hampshire.
