Gore Hundred was a hundred on the northern border of the historic county of Middlesex, England and covered the area represented since 1965 by the London Borough of Harrow plus one third of the London Borough of Barnet and one third of the London Borough of Brent.
According to the relatively frequent central medieval records of all major estates including the Domesday Book, Feet of Fines (premiums on estates being transferred), Assize Rolls and subsidy rolls, its parishes were:
- Edgware, a small parish along northern border.
- Harrow, comprising roughly the western two-fifths of the hundred. Harrow was the "parent" parish of Wembley, Alperton and Sudbury.
- Hendon, comprising approximately the eastern third of the hundred.
- Kingsbury, a small parish on the southern border of the hundred.
- Great Stanmore, a strip parish in the north, adjoining Harrow and others.
- Little Stanmore, a strip parish in the north, adjoining Edgware and others.
- Pinner, a chapelry of Harrow until 1766 which constituted the northwest quarter of Harrow.
