Inkpen Common is a hamlet and former common in the English county of Berkshire, within the civil parish of Inkpen.

The settlement lies south of the A4 road and approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) south-east of Hungerford. It is the location of the Crown and Garter public house. Part of the old common remains as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, called Inkpen Common SSSI, between the hamlet and Hell Corner. It is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.
