Hamilton is a city in Loudoun County, Virginia. In the census of 2000, there were 562 people in Hamilton.

Hamilton is located about 8 kilometers east of its neighbor Purcellville and about 10 kilometers west of Leesburg, the county seat of Loudoun County.

The city, which was originally called Harmony, began to flourish in 1868, when the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad was led to Hamilton. In 1926 a fire destroyed most of the town's shops and visitor numbers declined.

Today Hamilton embodies the concept of "small town America". In June, the community celebrates itself as part of the Hamilton Day.
