Tidcombe is a small village in Wiltshire, England, on the eastern edge of the county, near Hampshire. It is about 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Marlborough and 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Hungerford, Berkshire. With few inhabitants, it forms part of the civil parish of Tidcombe and Fosbury, which has a parish meeting.[1]

There is evidence of a church in the mid 13th century.[2] The Anglican Church of St Michael has a 17th-century tower and is Grade II* listed.[3] Tidcombe manor house, from the mid to late 18th century, is also Grade II* listed.[4]

On both sides of the parish boundary with Fosbury lies the Iron Age hill fort of Fosbury Camp.
