Hamsterley is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated to the north of Consett. Known until recently as Hamsterley Colliery due to the large Mining Colliery which was situated to the south of the village along the southern banks of River Derwent. The Colliery was halfway between Hamsterley and High Westwood.

One of two villages of this name in County Durham, it should not be confused with the larger village of Hamsterley, near Bishop Auckland, 20 miles to the south.
