Aldershot is a Canadian rural community in Kings County, Nova Scotia.

A quasi-suburb of Kentville, Aldershot developed as a farming community along the Cornwallis Valley Railway in the 19th century.

The community grew substantially after 1904 when the British Army and later the Department of Militia and Defence expropriated a large tract of land north of the Cornwallis River for an army training facility.

Named Camp Aldershot, it continues to operate.
