The HantsFurs is the name given to a regional furry group centered around the county of Hampshire, UK. The majority of HantsFurs members reside in either Southampton or Portsmouth, two major cities in the area. Furmeets are usually organized through the group's mailing list and forum, although are much more sporadic than those other groups in the UK, with mini-meets being more common.

The group was officially founded by SlyCat in March 2000 by creating the mailing list due to the increasing number of furs in the area, however the list is now currently owned by TK Tiger. As of August 2009, the group has over 120 subscribed members and is always looking for more furs in the local and surrounding areas.

After some time of scattered irregular meets, the HantsFurs started having monthly meets as of 14th February. Meets take place on the second Saturday of the month and currently rotate between the locations of Southampton and Portsmouth.

NamuGriff is currently in charge of the Portsmouth side of the HantsFurs meet each time they come around. The dates for each meet are set two months in advance.

Once a year, a trip to Bournemouth is organised for the group. Blaster_Hedgie has been in charge of organising the Bournemouth meets since 2007, though this has not been an official responsibility. Hedgie (as he is more widely known) has also taken to the task of organising the yearly Halloween and Christmas meets from 2007 to date. Hedgie was made a moderator of the HantsFurs Mailing List in October 2005.
