Mattingley is a village and large civil parish in Hampshire, England. The village lies on the Reading road between the town of Hook and Reading. The River Whitewater runs through the parish. The village has one pub, named the Leather Bottle.

In Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870), John Marius Wilson described Mattingley as a "hamlet and a chapelry". It was part of Heckfield before becoming its own civil parish in 1894.
