Bryanston /ˈbraɪənstən/ is a village and civil parish in north Dorset, England, situated on the River Stour 1 mile (1.5 kilometres) west of Blandford Forum.

The village was named after Brian de Lisle, a Baron at the court of King John.

The Rogers family owned it for a long period of time, and it was later purchased by Sir William Portman, 6th Baronet, who took part in crushing Monmouth's rebellion in 1685.

In the 1890s the Portman family built a large country house, designed by Richard Norman Shaw[2] and set in 400 acres (160 ha).

[2] In 1950 Viscount Portman gave up the Bryanston Estates as part payment of death duties.
