West Littleton is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Tormarton, in the South Gloucestershire district, in the ceremonial county of Gloucestershire, England.[1] It lies between the M4 and the A420. The closest amenities are in Marshfield, Script error: No such module "convert". to the south-east, and the historic city of Bath is about Script error: No such module "convert". to the south.

St James's Church has a 13-century bellcote but was otherwise rebuilt by T. H. Wyatt in 1855.[2] The grounds of Dyrham Park, a stately home owned by the National Trust, are a few hundred metres west of the village on the other side of the A46.

The Old Manor House, east of the village street, is Grade II* listed. In limestone rubble with a stone tile roof, the house was begun c.1500 then altered and enlarged in the 17th century and later.[3]

The Beaufort Hunt regularly uses the village green as a starting point for their hunts, though this has been somewhat curtailed due to the legislation banning fox hunting.

In 1931, the parish had a population of 65.[4] On 1 April 1935, the parish was abolished and merged with Tormarton.[5]
