Jealott's Hill is a little village in eastern Berkshire, within the civil parish of Warfield. It is barely more than a hamlet and stands alone with the other Warfield hamlets about it, though with the swelling townscape of Bracknell uncomfortably close to the south.

The village sits near the A3095 road some two miles northeast of Bracknell. It is home to Syngenta's largest research and development site in the world, and houses Europe's largest agricultural research greenhouse at 4,784 square yards (4,000 m²). It currently employs around 800 people.

Jealott's Hill houses a 650-acre farm, which is a commercial farm run by Syngenta.
