Heads Hill is a hamlet on Crookham Common in the civil parish of Thatcham in the English county of Berkshire.

It lies near to the A339 road off Thornford Road, and is located approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) south-east of Newbury, and the same south-west of Thatcham Berkshire. Goldfinch Bottom is to the north and the Greenham Business Park to the west. The latter was formed across the H.Q. area of the old Greenham Common Airbase. Most of Greenham and Crookham Commons formed the RAF Greenham Common Airfield, initially constructed in W.W.II, but was enlarged during the Cold War as the USAF atomic rocket bomb base.
