Hardwell Camp is a promontory fort located in Berkshire, England, which dates to the Iron Age.

The fort represents an important example of Iron Age settlement and defensive architecture in the southern English landscape, reflecting the period's patterns of territorial control and community organisation. Its construction and use demonstrate the significance of hillforts as centres of power, storage, and refuge during the Iron Age period.
