Winkworth Arboretum is an arboretum near Busbridge in Surrey, to be found between Godalming and Hascombe, in the south-west of the county. It is owned by the National Trust.

Winkworth Arboretum exhibits large collections of azalea, rhododendron, and holly on slopes leading down to landscaped garden lakes. Gertrude Jekyll explored the woods in the early 20th century. The exotic trees were planted from 1938 by Wilfrid Fox.
