Sock Dennis (also known as Stock-Dennis) was a civil parish near Ilchester and Tintinhull in Somerset, England. It lies on the Monarch's Way long distance footpath.In the Domesday Book the village was in the possession of Robert, Count of Mortain. From the mid 13th century it was described as a manor but by the end of the 18th century was "an obliterated place". The place name derives from "Sock", probably an area of marsh or streams and the family name of the successors of William the Dane, a 12th century owner.

After the church was destroyed, and the place almost depopulated, it lost its parochial rights.

A doorway, probably of the early C16 and perhaps forming part of the fabric of the church, is incorporated in one of the buildings of Sock Dennis farm, [cite web |url=http://webapp1.somerset.gov.uk/her/details.asp?prn=53117 |title=St John the Baptist church, Sock Dennis Farm |accessdate=2008-01-06 |format= |work=Somerset Historic Environment Record ] which is all that now remains of the village.
