Winchcombe () is a market town of early medieval origin, in the Cotswold hills of Gloucestershire, England, 6 mi north-east of Cheltenham. The population was recorded as 4,538 in the 2011 census and estimated at 5,347 in 2019.
The Belas Knap Neolithic long barrow on Cleeve Hill above Winchcombe, dates from about 3000 BCE. In Anglo-Saxon times, Winchcombe was a major community in Mercia, favoured by King Coenwulf of Mercia, the others being Lichfield and Tamworth. In the 11th century, the town was briefly the county town of Winchcombeshire. The Anglo-Saxon St Kenelm, said to be a son of Coenwulf, is believed to be buried here.
