Netherhampton is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, immediately west of the city of Salisbury. The village is about 2 miles (3.2 km) from the city centre.

Netherhampton was originally a chapelry in the parish of Wilton.

The northern part of the parish has water meadows and the River Nadder. To the west the parish borders the Wilton House estate. To the east is the Salisbury suburb of West Harnham. In 1954 the urban boundary was extended to bring the built-up area into Salisbury; since then development has expanded into the parish, bringing housing and a business park. The southern part of the parish has farmland. Netherhampton House has a central position in the village. It was built in the 17th century for the Wilton Estate and is Grade II* listed.
