Nettleden is a village in Hertfordshire, England. It is located in the Chiltern Hills, about four miles north west of Hemel Hempstead.
The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'valley where nettles grow'. In manorial records of the late Twelfth century the village was recorded as Neteleydene.
Anciently the village was a hamlet in the parish of Pitstone in Buckinghamshire, though the boundary of the hamlet was surrounded by the county of Hertfordshire. Nettleden was only made part of Hertfordshire, and a parish in its own right, in 1895.
Today the village sits in a very attractive location, on the periphery of Ashridge Common.
