Pimperne (/ˈpɪmpərn/ PIM-pərn) is a village and civil parish in north Dorset, England, situated on Cranborne Chase two miles (three kilometres) northeast of the town of Blandford Forum.

A Bronze Age settlement was discovered in the barrows to the north of the village.

The parish church of St Peter was rebuilt by Lord Portman of Bryanston in 1872–4, though some Norman features from the previous building, such as the font and chancel arch, were retained.

Pimperne parish is within the Cranborne Chase electoral ward, which extends north eastwards through Tarrant Hinton to Ashmore.

The ward had a population of 1,993 in the 2011 census[3] and is part of the constituency of North Dorset, which is currently represented in the UK parliament by the Conservative Simon Hoare.
