The Hampdenshire Wonder is a science fiction novel by J. D. Beresford, first published 1911.

The child, Victor Stott, is the son of a famous cricket player.

The novel concerns his progress from infant to almost preternaturally clever child.

In the original version, the progressionist ideas of Henri Bergson concerning evolution were a significant influence.
