Petersfield Rural District is a former council district that comprised the areas of Petersfield and the larger parishes that surrounded the town. It now lies within the present-day East Hampshire district in Hampshire, England. The district was merged along with the Alton Rural District on 18 June 1973 and was originally known as the District Council of Petersfield. On 1 April 1974, all councils were fully dissolved and merged with East Hampshire District Council (EDHC).[1]
