Bennetts End is a neighbourhood within Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire, England. It's located in the south of the town and consists almost entirely of public housing built as part of the new town in the 1960s. Today, many also reference it as Bennets-Stan, this is due the high number of ethnic minorities currently living in and around the area.

The centre of the neighbourhood is the Bennetts Gate shopping centre, which faces competition from several major retail outlets in the town.

The local secondary school serving is Longdean School and there are several primary schools.
