Winterbourne Monkton is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Avebury Stone Circle and 6 miles (10 km) northwest of Marlborough.
The eastern boundary of the parish is the ancient trackway known as The Ridgeway.
Winterbourne Monkton elects a joint parish council with the adjacent parish of Berwick Bassett. It falls within the area of the Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions.
The Church of England parish church of St Mary Magdalen is Grade II listed. The church has 12th-century origins but was rebuilt in 1878 by William Butterfield.
A National School was built in 1847 and educated children of all ages until 1949. It became a Church of England primary school which closed in 1971; local children go to Broad Hinton or Lockeridge.
The village had a pub, the New Inn, which closed in 2012.
