Wasing Wood Ponds is a 13.5-hectare (33-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of Aldermaston in Berkshire.[1][2]

The ponds are special for their range of Odonata.[3]

The site is a group of ponds, wet ditches and marshy areas partly in the Woods and partly on open ground formerly excavated for gravel.[3]

It is in two different areas, which are private land, but a public footpath crosses one of them.
