Newnham is a village in Hampshire, four miles to the east of Basingstoke, and a mile west of Hook. The 2011 census recorded a population of 518.

A large portion of the land of the parish is arable, cultivated fields and scattered woodland leading towards the Basingstoke Canal and towards Eversley and Stratfield Saye and ancient woodlands.
