Hampton Township is a Township in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. As of the United States 2000 Census, the township population was 4,943.

Crandon Lakes (2000 Census population of 1,150) is a census-designated place and unincorporated area split between Hampton Township and Stillwater Township.

Robert Hamilton, a New Jersey state legislator and an Episcopalian, apparently held great respect for Hampton's act, and gave the township its name [Snell, James P. (1881) "History of Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey, With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers". (Centennial ed., Harmony, NJ: Harmony Press, 1981) p. 454] .
