Tadley is a town and civil parish in the Basingstoke and Deane district of Hampshire, England, 5.5 miles (8.9 km) north of Basingstoke and 11 miles (17 km) south west of Reading.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (AWRE), now known as AWE, became the area's largest employer, and many houses were built during this period to accommodate AWRE workers. Though the establishment was located in the parish of Aldermaston, most of these houses were built in Tadley.
