Sparkenhoe was a hundred of Leicestershire, England. It was in the southwest of the county, covering the towns of Market Bosworth and Hinckley, broadly corresponding to the modern Blaby District and Hinckley and Bosworth District.
The meeting place of the Sparkenhoe Hundred was probably at Shericles Farm near Desford, which derives from scirac meaning "the hundred oak". Sparkenhoe hundred was not recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) as a wapentake, being formed in 1346 from part of Guthlaxton Hundred and Goscote.
