Ruscombe is a village and civil parish, east of Twyford in the Borough of Wokingham in Berkshire, England.

The Church of England parish church of St James was built in the late 12th century. Its Norman chancel survives but its nave and west tower were rebuilt in 1638–39. The church is a Grade I listed building.

St James' is now part of a united benefice with St. Mary's, Twyford. The benefice is in turn part of a local ecumenical partnership with Twyford United Reformed Church.

William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, lived in Ruscombe from 1710 until his death in 1718.

The actor Dennis Price, co-star of the film Kind Hearts and Coronets, was born in Ruscombe in 1915.
