Gadebridge is a suburb of Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. It is found to the north of the town centre, to the west of the River Gade from which it takes its name.

Although part of the Hemel Hempstead New Town area, Gadebridge is surrounded by green space; north is open Hertfordshire countryside, to the east the valley of the Gade, and to the west and south is a narrow green corridor between Gadebridge and the suburbs of the town.

The remains of a Roman villa have been discovered in Gadebridge.

In the development of Hemel Hempstead New Town, the former private estate of Gadebridge was opened up as a public park.
