Dumbleton is a village in the English county of Gloucestershire. The village is roughly 20 miles from Gloucester and 50 miles from Bristol.

The village is known to have existed in the time of Ethelred I who granted land to Abingdon Abbey, and it is mentioned in the Domesday Book.

St Peter's church is of Norman origin with mainly 13th-century additions. The chancel was rebuilt in 1862. The travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor is buried in the churchyard with his wife Joan. The redundant St Mary's Church, Little Washbourne is also in the parish of Dumbleton.

Historic buildings include the Old Rectory (16th century) and Dumbleton Hall (1830), now a hotel known for its supposed hauntings.
