Northney is a village on north Hayling island in the borough of Havant in the county of Hampshire, England.

[1][2] After the Norman Conquest, the lands and properties of North Hayling were feued from the Bishop of Winchester to Jumièges Abbey in Normandy.

By 1140, the abbey had paid for St Peters church to be built for the local community.

In 1694, it was reported that 30 villagers subscribed three guineas each to fight France in the Nine Years' War.
