Bursledon Brickworks Industrial Museum, often shortened to Bursledon Brickworks, is a volunteer-run brickworks museum based in the village of Swanwick, Hampshire, England. It is thought to be the last Victorian steam-driven brickworks left in the UK. The brick kiln, chimney, drying sheds, and the boiler and engine house at the south section of the brickworks are listed Grade II* as a group on the National Heritage List for England. The Hampshire Narrow Gauge Railway Trust (HNGRT) operates a demonstration narrow-gauge railway at the brickworks. The Trust was formed in 1961 as the Hampshire Narrow Gauge Railway Society, initially to rescue a W. G. Bagnall steam locomotive from Dorothea Quarry. The society built up a collection of rolling stock and track, and based its operations at Bursledon. In 2006, the society was incorporated into the Hampshire Narrow Gauge Railway Trust.

Bursledon Brickworks Industrial Museum is all set to become one of the key visitor attractions in the South. The only remaining steam driven brickworks in the country, they show how brick making made the leap from small scale production to 20 million bricks a year. The fully restored and working machinery helped them to win the coveted Institute of Mechanical Engineering Heritage Award in 2011 and on Open Days they can show it all running as it was when it ceased producing bricks. On site you can see the patented method adopted to dry the bricks and the huge kiln block that was used to fire them ready for collection. The museum has other clay based collections on site and lots of opportunities on offer which makes a visit both enjoyable and educational.
