Berkhamsted is an historic market town in Hertfordshire, England, situated in the Bulbourne Valley, 26 miles (42 km) north-west of London. The town is a civic ward, with a Town Council, in the Borough of Dacorum, based in the nearby larger New Town of Hemel Hempstead. Berkhamsted, together with the adjacent village of Northchurch, is surrounded by rural land, most of which is within the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The high street is located on the route that preceded Roman times, known by its Saxon name: Axeman Street.

The first written record of Berkhamsted is from 970. The settlement was recorded in 1086 as Burbium (ancient parish) in the Domesday book. The most significant events in the towns history occurred in December 1066. After William the Conqueror defeated the Anglo-Saxon forces of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings, the Anglo-Saxon leadership surrendered to Norman forces camped at Berkhamsted.

The events are recorded in The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. From 1066 until 1495, Berkhamsted Castle was the preferred residence for the royal family and important historical figures, including Henry II, Edward, the Black Prince, Thomas Becket, and Geoffrey Chaucer. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the town was a town for wool trade, and had a flourishing local market. The oldest known extant gable-ended timber-framed structure in Great Britain, built between 1277 and 1297, remains as a shop in the townas High Street. After the castle was abandoned in 1495, the town declined, losing borough status during the latter part of the 17th century.

Colonel Daniel Axtell, the Captain of the Parliamentary Guard during the trial and execution of Charles I in 1649, was one of the men born at Berkhamsted.

Modern Berkhamsted began expanding following the building of canals and the railways during the 19th century. In the 21st century, Berkhamsted has developed into a wealthy commuter town.

The towns literary connections include the 17th-century hymn singer and poet William Cowper, 18th-century author Maria Edgeworth, and 20th-century novelist Graham Greene. The towns arts institutions include The Rex, Berkhamsted (a highly respected independent film house) and the British Film Institutes BFI National Archive in Kings Hill, one of the largest archives of films and TV footage in the world. Schools in the town include the Berkhamsted School, an independent boarding school with mixed-gender education (founded in 1541 by John Incent, Dean of St Pauls Cathedral); Ashlyns School, a state school, which began its history as a foundling hospital set up by Thomas Coram in London in 1742; and Ashridge Executive Education, a business school that offers degrees, based at the Grade I listed Gothic Ashridge House.
