Linkenholt is a village near Andover in Hampshire, England with about 40 inhabitants. The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as Linchehou, when it was part of the land of the Abbey of St Peter of Gloucester.

The village is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Linkenholt includes a estate that has an Edwardian manor house, 21 cottages and houses, of farmland, of woodland, a village shop and a blacksmith's forge. The Church of England parish church of Saint Peter is not part of the estate.

Herbert Blagrave bought the estate in 1964 and it passed to the trustees of the Herbert and Peter Blagrave Charitable Trust on his death in 1981. The trustees sold the estate for an estimated £25 million in May 2009 to Swedish businessman Stefan Persson.
