Tichborne is a village in Hampshire, England, near Winchester.
The manor of Tichborne is mentioned in a grant of land by Edward the Elder in 909 but it is not mentioned in the Domesday Book. The manor of Tichborne has been held by the Tichborne family since the 12th century.
Tichborne is perhaps most best known for the infamous 19th century legal case of the Tichborne Claimant, in which an Australian imposter, Arthur Orton, claimed to be missing Tichborne family member, Sir Roger Tichborne.
Nearby attractions include the National Trust garden at Hinton Ampner.
