Bedhampton is a former village and, since 1974, a suburb of the Borough of Havant, Hampshire, England. It is located at the northern end of Langstone Harbour and at the foot of the eastern end of Portsdown Hill.

Bedhampton was a civil parish until 1932 when it was abolished. About two-thirds was transferred into Havant civil parish and the remainder was part of the area forming the new civil parish of Rowlands Castle.
