Farnborough is a town in the Rushmoor district of Hampshire, England. It is best known as the home of the Farnborough Airshow which takes place once every two years. The town is home to Farnborough Aerodrome, Air Accidents Investigation Branch, and the international headquarters of BAE Systems and Cessna.

Farnborough is situated in the northeast of Hampshire and near to the boundary with Surrey. The River Blackwater forms part of the boundary. It is located 55 km (34 miles) southwest of London and 26 km (16 miles) east of Basingstoke, directly to the south of junction 4 of the M3 motorway. The town lies at the centre of the Blackwater Valley conurbation, which includes Aldershot, Camberley, Yateley, Sandhurst, Frimley and Farnham.

Farnborough has incorporated several sizeable villages as it has expanded, including Cove and Southwood, both of which are now considered suburbs. It is continuous with the garrison town of Aldershot to the south and with Frimley to the north. Based in the town is the council of the local government district of Rushmoor. The district has borough status and also covers nearby Aldershot.

Within Farnborough the only naturally occurring significant water feature is Cove Brook.

Adjacent to the airport, IQ Farnborough, the new name for Farnborough Business Park[9], is a major development which aims to have around 1,670,000 sq ft (155,000 m2) of new office space. There are plans to make this area not only a major business centre, but also a new centrepiece for Farnborough.
