Harbridge and Ibsley was a civil parish formed in 1932 in Hampshire, England from the parishes of Harbridge and Ibsley, both of which were abolished at that time. The parish was part of Ringwood and Fordingbridge Rural District until 1974. In the nationwide reorganization of municipalities in 1974 the area became part of the New Forest District and joined forces with the parish of Ellingham to become the modern parish of Ellingham Harbridge and Ibsley.
