Winchester Rural District is a former rural district in Hampshire which existed from 1898 until 1974 and comprised the rural parishes that surrounded the large town of Winchester.

In 1932 there was quite a bit of transferrence of parishes in and out of the rural district. Some small parishes were also grouped into single parishes at that time. The changes are noted below, parish by parish. In 1974 the district was further split with some parishes going to form the new non-metropolitan district of Winchester District or City of Winchester and some going to the non-metropolitan district of Eastleigh District or Borough of Eastleigh.
