The Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith was a metropolitan borough in London, England from 1900 to 1965. It included Hammersmith, Wormwood Scrubs, Old Oak Common and Shepherd's Bush.

The borough was created in 1900 from the parish of Hammersmith, with the Hammersmith Metropolitan Borough Council replacing the Hammersmith Vestry.

In 1965, the borough was abolished and became the northern part of the London Borough of Hammersmith, later renamed to the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in 1979.
