West Stour is a village and civil parish situated in the Blackmore Vale area of North Dorset, England.

West Stour has a village hall, one public house and a service station on the main A30 road.

In 1086 in the Domesday Book two settlements were recorded in the parish: West Stour and Little Kington.

The latter remained small but West Stour developed into a village.

[3] A commemorative plaque in the north wall records the names of three men from the village – George Beale, Charlie Trim and Tom Wilson – who died in the Great War.
