Orchard Portman is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Taunton.

[5] It is also part of the Taunton and Wellington county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Pevsner cites the Norman arcades and narrow aisles characteristic of that era and "never enlarged to satisfy later medieval taste."

[8] The Church of St Michael in Orchard Portman also has Norman origins with the chancel being rebuilt in the early 15th century.

[9][10] Dr Thomas Bond (1841–1901) a British physician considered by some to be the first offender profiler,[11][12][13] and best known for his association with the notorious Jack the Ripper murders of 1888, was buried in the churchyard.
