Shorncliffe Army Camp er en stor militærlejr nær Cheriton i Kent. Den blev grundlagt i 1794 og tjente senere som en staging post for tropper, der var på vej til den vestlige front under Første Verdenskrig.
Lejren blev grundlagt i 1794, da den britiske hær købte over 229 hektar land ved Shorncliffe; den blev derefter udvidet i 1796 og 1806. Det var ved Shorncliffe, at Sir John Moore i 1803 trænede Light Division, som kæmpede under hertugen af Wellington i Napoleonskrigene. I 1890 blev teltlejrens faciliteter erstattet af permanente faciliteter kendt som Moore Barracks, Napier Barracks, Ross Barracks, Royal Engineers Barracks og Somerset Barracks. Risborough Barracks blev etableret inden 1910.
