Micheldever /mɪəlˈdɛvər/ is a village and civil parish in Hampshire, England, situated 6 miles (10 km) north of Winchester. It lies upon the River Dever /ˈdvər/.

The river, and village, formerly part of Stratton Park,[3] lie on a Hampshire grass downland, underlain with chalk and flint. Parts of the river now disappear in summer through lack of replenishment, evaporation and, more specifically, the porous nature of the bedrock.
