Shalden is a village and civil parish in the East Hampshire District of Hampshire, England. It is 2.3 miles (3.7 km) northwest of Alton and 1.9 miles (3.1 km) northeast of Bentworth, just off the A339 road. The parish covers an area of 1,536 acres (622 ha) and has an average elevation of 600 feet (180 m) above sea level. According to the 2011 UK census, it had a population of 435.

The parish contains four individual hamlets: Stancombe, Shalden Green, Pountley and Golden Pot.

For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Shaldon. The History section summarizes the ownership of the manor from the Domesday Book of 1086 to the early 19th century and also includes the story of the saying "Sweet Fanny Adams" which resulted from an horrific murder in 1867.
