Hampton is a village in Rock Island County, Illinois, United States.

The population was 1,626 at the 2000 census.The village was originally in territory claimed by the Sauk and Fox Indians, and several Woodland era Native mounds are located in the village limits, and in the adjacent Illiniwek Forest Preserve.
