Egypt is a hamlet in the parish of Burnham, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located on the edge of Burnham Beeches, just to the north of Farnham Common.
It is thought that the hamlet was so named because it was a common settling point for Gypsies, as it was once thought that Gypsies came from Egypt.
