Kingsclere and Whitchurch Rural District was a rural district between 1932 and 1974 in Hampshire, England.
The district was formed as a merger of the abolished Kingsclere Rural District, centred on Kingsclere, and Whitchurch Rural District, centred on Whitchurch.
Kingsclere and Whitchurch Rural District was in turn abolished in 1974, with its area becoming part of Basingstoke District, which was renamed Basingstoke and Deane in 1978.
