Bere Regis (/ˈbɪər ˈriːdʒɪs/) is a village and civil parish in Dorset, England, situated 6 miles (9.7 km) north-west of Wareham.

The village has one shop, a family-owned cheese barn, a post office, and two pubs, The Royal Oak and The Drax Arms.

Woodbury Hill, 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of Bere Regis village, is the site of an Iron Age contour hill-fort, the ramparts of which enclose 12 acres (4.9 ha) on a flat-topped spur of land.

[2] Edward I made Bere Regis a free borough and it was an important market town for a long period, though all domestic buildings built before 1600 have since been destroyed by serious fires in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

After 2019 structural changes to local government in England, Bere Regis is part of the West Purbeck ward which elects 2 members to Dorset Council.

The nearby hamlet of Shitterton, protected by the Bere River from the fires, still retains an extensive selection of older buildings, predominantly thatch.

The tower is built of stone-and-flint chequerwork, and the timber roof of the nave is said to have been the gift of Cardinal John Morton.

[7] In the 2011 census Bere Regis civil parish had 852 dwellings,[8] 803 households and a population of 1,745 (867 male, 878 female).
