Hemel Hempstead Rural District was located in northwestern Hertfordshire, England from 1894 to 1974. It was created in 1894 by the Local Government Act 1894, based on the Hemel Hempstead Rural Sanitary District. It originally included the town of Hemel Hempstead, but the town was made a municipal borough in 1898.

The district constituted two detached parts, situated north and south of Hemel Hempstead. Bovingdon, Chipperfield, Flaunden and Kings Langley were in the southern part, with Flamstead, Great Gaddesden and Markyate in the northern part. Caddington was moved to Bedfordshire in 1898.

The Local Government Act 1972 abolished the district on 1 April 1974. Since then it has formed part of the Dacorum District.
