Hampton (1872–1897) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and Champion sire.

His dam was Lady Langden whose sire, Kettledrum, won the 1861 Epsom Derby.

At stud, Hampton proved a highly successful sire, earning Champion sire honors in 1887 and Champion broodmare sire honors in 1900.

Among his successful runners were four winners of British Classic Races:[2]
