Curdridge is a village and civil parish in the Winchester District (City of Winchester) of Hampshire. Also located within the parish is the similarly named village of Curbridge. The parish is located eight miles to the east of Southampton and had a population of 1,292 people in 473 households in the 2001 UK census.

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Curdridge from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"CURDRIDGE, a tything-chapelry in Bishops-Waltham parish, Hants; adjacent to the Gosford Junction railway, near Botley [railway] station, and 2 miles SSW of Bishops-Waltham. Post town: Botley, under Southampton. Real property: £1,960. Population: 534. The living is a [perpetual] curacy in the diocese of Winchester. Value: not reported. Patron: the Rector of Bishops-Waltham."

Curdridge became a separate civil parish in the Droxford Rural District in 1894. In 1952 it was enlarged when it absorbed part of Curbridge parish which was abolished at that time.
