Hamburg is a city in and the county seat of Ashley County, Arkansas, United States. The population was 2,857 at the 2010 census. The population declined by more than 10% between 2010 and 2020, resulting in a lower tax base for the region. It is the home town of NBA player Scottie Pippen. The City of Hamburg crest has a picture of a gazebo, trees, cotton, and antelope.

The city requires residents to pay a $30 reconnect fee in order to have your water service restored if it is shut off. Your water service will only be restored during the hours of 8:00am and 4:30pm. You may pay an additional $60, a 200% surcharge, to have your water service restored after hours. The City of Hamburg also, in 2024, decided to begin enforcing customers of the city water service to have shut off valves. The 2023 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for Hamburg Water Department found lead and copper in the city's water supply, though not at levels to cause concern.
