Smethcott (sometimes Smethcote) is a civil parish and dispersed hamlet near the village of Picklescott, in Shropshire, England.

[3] A 13th century motte-and-bailey castle existed at Smethcott, of which now only the earthworks remain in a field near the church.

The church, which is dedicated to St Michael and All Angels, was largely rebuilt in 1850 though retains some Norman features.

[4] The parish's war memorial, a stone cross, is in the churchyard and there is also a Roll of Honour inside the church.

[6] The rural parish is situated in the northern foothills of the Long Mynd and includes Picklescott and the hamlet of Betchcott.
