Wootton Rivers is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire, England. The village lies about 3 miles northeast of Pewsey and 4 miles south of Marlborough. During the 20th century its population halved and most of its facilities closed.
A group of five Bronze Age round barrows lies on high ground in the northeast of the parish. Domesday Book recorded a settlement at Otone in 1086, with 69 households, two churches, and land held by Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey, Normandy. The name Wootton Rivers was in use in the 14th century: 'Wootton' meant 'farm by the wood' and 'Rivers' was the surname of the lords of the manor. An eastern part of the parish was part of Savernake Forest in the 14th century, but today the edge of the forest is just beyond the northeast corner of the parish.
