List of hundreds of England and Wales

This is a list of hundreds of England and Wales. Most English counties were divided into hundreds from the late Saxon period and they were effectively abolished under the Local Government Act of 1894.Fact|date=February 2007 In some areas, equivalent districts were known as "wapentakes", "cantrefs" or "wards". The cantref and some wapentakes later became known as hundreds.

Except where stated, lists are from the Victoria County History. This is not an authoritative list, as hundreds were variable and sources differ.
