Hamfallow is a civil parish in the district of Stroud. There is no village centre; the parish consists of farms and hamlets such as Abwell, Breadstone (which joined the parish in 1935), Halmore, Mobley and Wanswell.

The westernmost portion of the parish boundary follows the River Severn, across which is the parish of Lydney in the Forest of Dean District. The other adjoining parishes are all in the Stroud district, these are: Hinton to the northwest; Slimbridge to the northeast; Cam to the east; Stinchcombe to the southeast; Alkington to the south; whilst both Ham and Stone and Berkeley lie to the southwest.

Hamfallow became a civil parish in 1866, having previously been a tything in Berkeley parish. Between 1894 and 1974 Hamfallow was in Thornbury Rural District.
