The Hampton Hill Historic District encompasses the historic village center of Hampton, Connecticut, a small rural community in Windham County. It is a linear district, extending for about 1 mile (1.6 km) along Connecticut Route 97, the major north-south route through the town. The area was settled in the 18th century, but experienced its most significant growth in the 19th century. Most of the district's 62 historic buildings were built in the 19th century, with fifteen houses surviving from the 18th. Architecturally, they represent a cross-section of styles popular from the mid-18th to early 20th centuries, with vernacular forms most commonly found. One of the oldest buildings is a c. 1727 tavern, since converted to a private residence.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
