Stourton Caundle is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in southwest England.

It lies within the Blackmore Vale, about five miles (eight kilometres) east of Sherborne.

[5] The Haddons retained the manor until 1461 when it passed to the Stourton family, which resulted in the current village name.

[2] The manor was on the west side of the main village street and was probably fortified, resulting in it being referred to as a 'castle',[6] though only a thirteenth-century chapel building (no longer used as such) and two fish ponds associated with the site now remain.

[2][7] Stourton Caundle's parish church is dedicated to St Peter and has a thirteenth-century nave and chancel, and a fourteenth-century tower.
