Timsbury is a village and civil parish located in Hampshire, England, near the town of Romsey. It lies mainly along the A3057 road running north from Romsey towards Stockbridge, and shares a boundary with the village of Michelmersh. It has a population of approximately 400.

From 1894 until 1932 Timsbury was part of the Romsey Rural District. In 1932 Timsbury merged with Michelmersh under the name Michelmersh and the joint parish became part of the newly formed Romsey and Stockbridge Rural District. Since the advent of the Test Valley District in 1974 the parish has been renamed Michelmersh and Timsbury.
