Hilperton is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. It is separated by a few fields from the northeastern edge of the town of Trowbridge and is approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from Trowbridge town centre.

There are three main parts of the village:

In the west of the parish is the village of Hilperton Marsh which is adjacent to the village of Staverton (a separate parish) and the Canal Road Industrial Estate (part of Trowbridge). In the north, beyond the Kennet and Avon Canal, is the rural hamlet of Whaddon.

Hilperton is an ancient civil parish with its own elected parish council. It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions.

An electoral ward of the same name exists. The ward stretches from Hilperton north to the edge of Trowbridge and north east to Whaddon. The total population of this ward taken from the 2011 census was 4,967.

The small Church of England parish church of St Mary at Whaddon is Grade II* listed.

Hilperton's parish church of Saint Michael and All Angels dates from the Middle Ages but was "restored" in 1852 by T.H. Wyatt.

Hilperton House dates from the 18th century and is Grade II* listed.
