Colemore is a village in East Hampshire about 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Petersfield.

The former Church of England parish church of St Peter ad Vincula ("St. Peter in Chains") dates from the 12th century.^[1] It is now redundant and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.^[2]

The brothers John Greaves (1602-1652, mathematician), Edward Greaves (physician) and Thomas Greaves (orientalist) were all sons of a rector of the parish and born in the village.^[1] A later orientalist, Richard Pococke (1704-1765), was also the son of a rector of the parish.
