Hankerton is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of Malmesbury. The parish includes the hamlets of Cloatley and Bullock's Horn.
Until the Dissolution, Hankerton and Cloatley were probably part of the Crudwell estate which belonged to Malmesbury Abbey.
The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) said of Hankerton:
The Church of England parish church is dedicated to the Holy Cross and has a bell-tower. Its parish registers survive back to 1699.
Manor Farmhouse and associated buildings are Grade II* listed.
Cloatley Manor Farm Meadows, a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest, is within the parish.

Well let me tell you a story of Hungry Town
Where the little old ... kiss the ground
I got my hat and a dollar bill
Lord I feel so hungry I'm feeling ill
Well Hungry Town people got nothin to eat
They're scratching the dirt trying to plant the seed
When night time comes it's time for bed
Well now I gotta fight just to lay my head
Well it's a Hungry Town
Where people kiss the ground
And the high eagle
That's where the feeling goes
There's a world out there
Where people just don't care
About what's going down
Right here in Hungry Town
