Frithelstock is a settlement in Devon, England. It is located within Torridge local authority area and formed part of Shebbear Hundred. It has one public house, the Clinton Arms, which serves scampi and chicken in a basket to the passing tourist trade, and a priory, cruelly ruined by the iconoclastic urges of Thomas Cromwell in 1536. The name Frithelstock has obscure origins, though some think it is connected with a disease of sheep.
