Wigtwizzle is a hamlet in the civil parish of Bradfield, in South Yorkshire, England. The hamlet is 6 miles south of Penistone, and 12 miles north west of Sheffield.
In the 15th century, the name of the hamlet was recorded as Wigtwisle, in the 16th century as Wigtwizle, and Wiggtwisle in the 17th century. The name derives from an Anglo-Saxon owner, Wicga, and means Wicga's land at the confluence of two streams, . Up until the 1960s, it was still recorded as Wightwizzle, but modern mapping uses Wigtwizzle without the 'H'. It is thought that both Wigtwizzle and nearby Brightholmlee, whilst not directly mentioned in the Domesday Book, are thought to be part of one of the 16 Berewicks of Hallamshire that were mentioned in the book.
