Upton is a hamlet in Hampshire, England, located approximately 1 mile north of Nursling.

It lies beside the main Romsey Road (A3057) leading north from Shirley as it rises over Horns Hill.[1] In the 19th century the hamlet consisted of one or two cottages and a smithy, as well as country house known as Upton House.[1] The housing development of Upton Crescent was built in the 1930s on the site of the former Upton House.[2] The hamlet is near the starting point of the M271 motorway.[3]
