Broadhempston is a small, largely rural village and civil parish in the Teignbridge district of Devon, England, set on rolling farmland a few miles north of Totnes and within easy reach of Newton Abbot. Its compact settlement and lanes look out over the surrounding valleys, making it popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter base close to the boundary of Dartmoor.

The village has clear medieval roots that survive in its church and several listed houses, and the local economy remains rooted in agriculture while also accommodating commuters, holiday lets and small rural businesses. Community life is typical of a Devon village, centred on a parish church, village hall and pub, with occasional local events and countryside activities drawing neighbours together.
