Farleigh Hill is a hill in Hampshire, amongst the Hampshire Downs, which reaches a height of 682 feet above sea level.

The hill rises about half a mile south-east of the M3 motorway and the outskirts of Basingstoke in the north of the county. The B3046 road runs over the hill from south-west to north-east, passing within about 100 yards of the summit at a crossroads.

In the vicinity are a number of houses and lodges, and Farleigh House School and Farleigh Wallop lie on the south-eastern spur of the hill. The village of Cliddesden lies on the same road about a mile to the north-east.
