Spetisbury (/ˈspɛtsbəri/) is a village and civil parish in north Dorset, England, situated on the River Stour and the A350, four miles (six kilometres) southeast of Blandford Forum.

[4] Spetisbury is a linear settlement, adjacent to the A350 road, which was included in Dorset County Council's response to the Major Roads Network (MRN) consultation, leading to some anticipation of a bypass of Spetisbury and neighbouring Charlton Marshall.

[5][additional citation(s) needed] A large solar farm was commissioned near Spetisbury in 2023 to provide energy for the City of London Corporation.

[6][7] Spetisbury is twinned with Le Vast, a village in the Manche department of Normandy, France.

[citation needed] Woodpeckers are commonly found in the village, and there is an Iron Age fort.

[9] In the 1850s, during the construction of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway, two mass graves were found contained over 80 skeletons.

In the churchyard, close to the porch, is the three-sided pyramid gravestone of Thomas Rackett, rector of the village and Charlton Marshall for 60 years.

The priory was then occupied by various religious groups including Brigittines (Syon nuns), Canons Regular of the Lateran and Ursulines.

[2] Dr Charles Sloper, rector of the parish, bequeathed £500 in his will to found a school in Spetisbury.
