Orlestone (listenⓘ) is a mid-sized civil parish in Ashford District, Kent, England, with a population of 1,593.

Most of the population live in a cross-civil parish settlement at the middle and edge of Orlestone, which is Hamstreet.

Orlestone itself is a small hamlet with a typical short street number of houses and the medieval parish church of St Mary the Virgin, parts of which date to the 11th century.

Much of the population moved to Hamstreet (originally known as Ham) when the Ashford to Hastings railway opened in 1853; there was also a better source of water at the newer place.

Hamstreet is also served by the 11/11A/11B bus, which is operated by Stagecoach and runs from Ashford to Lydd and New Romney.
