Headley is a village and civil parish in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It is 1.8 miles (2.9km) east of Bordon on the B3002 road.

The nearest railway station is 3.6 miles (5.8km) south of the village at Liphook.

Headley is the oldest of three villages in the south of England of that name and has gone through a number of name spellings, but was first noted in the Domesday Book: "In Neatham Hundred — The Count (Eustace) himself holds 5 hides in Headley which answered for 3 hides before 1066. Earl Godwin Held it. They account for it in (Bishops) Sutton."

The civil parish of Headley has a population of over 5,500. The parish comprises a number of hamlets as well as the village of Headley itself: Standford, Arford, Headley Down, Barford, Wishanger, Sleaford, Trottsford, and part of Hollywater. Current area is 4,862 acres (19.7 km²). The original parish also included Grayshott (until 1902), Lindford, and a considerable portion of Bordon (until 1929). The ecclesiastical parish of All Saints, Headley served Lindford and Bordon, although not Grayshott, until March 2002 — since then Bordon became a separate ecclesiastical parish.
