Buriton is a village and civil parish in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England, 2 miles (3.3km) south of Petersfield. It lies just east of the A3 road.

The nearest railway station is 2 miles (3.3km) north of the village, at Petersfield.

The village boasts two tennis courts, two pubs - "The Five Bells" and the "The Master Robert", a large village pond with ducks and fish, a car park and the church of St. Mary. There is no shop in the village.

The main roads of Buriton are High Street and Petersfield Road.

It is a rural, peaceful place, with the possible exception of the main railway line, the Portsmouth to London line (Portsmouth Direct Line). The railway tunnel which carries the line under the South Downs is visible from the recreation ground. There is a pedestrian crossing over the railway at this point which the trains 'hoot' for as a warning to those crossing the line. There is also a path under the railway bridge from South Lane, both paths lead to the walks around the disused chalk pits. Although for centuries the village was deemed of more importance than neighbouring Petersfield, Buriton never obtained its own railway station (aside from Woodcroft Halt, built during World War II for naval personnel), because the gradient in the area was deemed too steep to allow a station to be constructed.

It is near the South Downs Way, with several paths that join it. It lies adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Country Park.
