Hemel Hempstead is a town in Hertfordshire, England, and has a population of 81,143 at the United Kingdom Census 2001 (but now estimated at around 89,000 by Hertfordshire County Council). Developed after World War II as a new town, it has existed as a settlement since the 8th century. It is part of the district (and borough since 1984) of Dacorum and the Hemel Hempstead constituency.

The main railway line between London Euston and the Midlands passes through Apsley and Hemel Hempstead railway stations a mile south of the town centre, as does the Grand Union Canal. These links, as well as the A41 trunk road, follow the course of the Bulbourne river valley.

The New Town expansion took place up the valley sides and on to the plateau above the original Old Town. In the 1990s, a motorway-style bypass numbered A41 was built to the south and west of the town across the upland chalk plateau. Hemel Hempstead is also linked to the M1 motorway to the east and the M25 is a few miles to the south. To the north and west lie mixed farm and woodland with scattered villages, part of the Chiltern Hills. To the south lies Watford and the beginnings of the Greater London conurbation. To the east lies St Albans, a historic cathedral and market town and now, like Hemel Hempstead, part of the London commuter belt.

Like Stevenage, this new town developed around a charming old town that still exists today. A Roman Villa use to be situated in Gadebridge Park, near Picotts End in the north west of the town. Elsewhere there are Tudor and Georgian cottages. The Gade and Bulbourne Rivers run through Hemel Hempstead and joins the Grand Union Canal on the south side of the town.

For shopping, the Marlowes Shopping Centre is near to the town centre, as is Jarman Park, a retail and leisure complex that includes a cinema, bowling alley and one of two dry-ski slopes in Hertfordshire. The other dry ski-slope is in Welwyn Garden City. There is an antiques market on a Wednesday and general market on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Hemel Hempstead has one of Hertfordshire's largest industrial and business areas. Kodak have their European headquarters in the town centre, while hundreds of companies are based in Maylands Industrial Estate, including the headquarters for Dixons and Freeserve.
