汉普顿锚地
汉普顿锚地（英语：Hampton Roads）是一个位于美国维吉尼亚州东南部的环水市区，英文原名既可指这市区，亦可指被这个市区围绕的水域。世界上最大的军港：美国海军诺福克基地即位于此。
水域方面，Hampton Roads包含詹姆斯河、伊莉莎白河及其他几条小河的河口，本身则通过切萨皮克湾连接大西洋。
地域方面，汉普顿锚地被划分成二个地区：维吉尼亚半岛（或称北边半岛），和南边的南汉普顿锚地（在当地，南汉普顿锚地亦称「南地」，但在该州正南方，更入内陆的地方亦有区域叫「南地」）。维吉尼亚半岛是大城市统计区域维珍尼亚海滩-诺福克-纽波特纽斯（VA-NC MSA）的其中一部份，整个大市区的人口约有160万。
