Hampton Park is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Casey.

Hampton Park has its own library, community hall, high school, and several primary schools. There is a local supermarket complex called Hampton Park Shopping Square, and it is close to the much-larger Fountain Gate Shopping Centre in Narre Warren.

The original development of Hampton Park dates from the post World War 1 era, when the area around Somerville Road was subdivided. Significant development of the area commenced in the 1970s, with development continuing through to the present. Development in the Lynbrook estate commenced in 1994. The Hampton Park and Lynbrook areas have significant areas of land remaining for development.

Hampton Park, Lynbrook and Lyndhurst form a growing residential area that has experienced a significant increase in population from 1996 to 2001. This increase in population has occurred due to an increase in the dwelling stock from 1996 to 2001.
