Hedsor House is a Georgian style mansion in the village of Hedsor near Taplow, Buckinghamshire. The ancient seat of the de Hedsor family who owned it at the time of the Domesday Book in 1086.

In 1583 Rowland Hynd built a new Tudor Manor House which was badly damaged by fire in 1795 and eventually demolished in 1865. Then architect James Knowles was commissioned by the fourth Lord Boston to design a new manor house. Completed in 1868 and styled in the Italian Villa manner. Both King George III and Queen Victoria were frequent visitors to this mansion.

The house is at the end of a kilometre long private drive. Set in 85 acres of land, with several acres adjacent to the house available for the erection of marquees. The surrounding park is Grade II listed on the English Heritage register.

Today, Hedsor House is used for filming, conferences, events and also as a magnificent wedding venue.
