Bentley is a village and civil parish in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England.

The village is located just off the A31 road between Farnham in Surrey and Alton, being about five miles west of Farnham and six miles east of Alton. It is served by Bentley railway station, which is about one mile to the south and is actually in the parish of Binsted.

Bentley is most famous for being the location of a Radio 4 and ITV Docu-Drama from the 1990s called The Village (TV Series), following local residents about their daily lives.

The founder of the Scout Movement Robert Baden-Powell lived in Bentley at Pax Hill. Harold Sanderson the owner of the White Star Line learned of the sinking of the Titanic whilst at his home Jenkyn Place in Bentley.

There are two pubs in the village: "The Star" (named after a car) and "The Bull".
