Tedburn St Mary is a village and civil parish in the Teignbridge district of Devon, England, approximately 8 miles west of Exeter. According to the 2021 census, it had a population of 1,550, which was slightly more than the 1,472 recorded at the 2011 census.[1] The village is the principal population centre of the electoral ward called Teignbridge North. The population of the ward at the 2011 census is 2,715.[2]

The Grade II* listed church of St Mary[3] is at Town Barton, the former site of the village which is northwest of the present one. The west tower has diagonal buttresses and a polygonal stair turret. The nave is unusually wide; the north transept and the north aisle may be 14th century. The chancel was rebuilt in 1868.[4]

Edward Gee was rector of Tedburn St Mary from 1599 to 1618.

Tedburn St Mary won the Calor Village of the Year competition in 2001.
