Hampton Wick is a Thames-side area of the Borough of Richmond upon Thames in London, England.

Once famous for its market gardens it is now commuter-belt territory, housing developments having been built on these areas.

At Hampton Wick resided the witty but profligate Sir Richard Steele, in a house which he whimsically denominated "the hovel;" and "from the Hovel at Hampton Wick, April 7, 1711," he dedicated the fourth volume of the Tatler to Charles, Lord Halifax. This was probably about the time he became surveyor of the royal stables at Hampton Court, governor of the king's comedians, a justice of the peace for Middlesex, and a knight.
