Motte in Hamstead Marshall Park is a Norman motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Berkshire, England.

The site sits within the grounds of Hamstead Marshall Park, positioned approximately 340 metres north-east of The Dower House, and represents the defensive and administrative infrastructure of the Norman period in the region.
