Mottisfont is a village and civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England, around northwest of Romsey. The village is the location of Mottisfont Abbey.

The unusual name is probably derived from the Old English motes funta, meaning 'spring near the confluence' or 'spring of the moot' or possibly 'spring of the stone' (from the Old English motere: sonte).
