Croker's Hole is a 4.4 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest near Upper Lambourn in Berkshire. The local planning authorities are Newbury District Council and Berkshire County Council.

The site is a narrow grassland valley, which is one of the most florally diverse chalk downlands in Berkshire. The dominant plants are upright brome and tor-grass, and it is the only site in the county which has the nationally rare bastard-toadflax (Thesium humifusum).

There is access from a footpath from Seven Barrows to Hangman's Stone.
