The Royal Dental Hospital was a dental hospital in Leicester Square, London, which operated from 1858 until 1985. In 1859, it opened the London School of Dental Surgery, later renamed to the Royal Dental Hospital of London School of Dental Surgery, which was the first dental school in Britain.

After the hospital closed in 1985, the building was redeveloped as the Hampshire Hotel. It is now part of the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotels chain and is known as the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hampshire Hotel.
