Hatherleigh is a small rural market town and electoral ward in West Devon, Devon, England, lying on the western fringe of Dartmoor. It has a compact centre of stone buildings and narrow streets around a traditional market area and parish church, and acts as a service hub for the surrounding farming communities.

The town has a long agricultural character and a lively community life: regular market activity, an annual agricultural show and local clubs keep the social calendar busy. Economically it leans on farming, small independent businesses, pubs and growing numbers of walkers and visitors drawn by nearby moorland and scenic country lanes, while residents often combine rural traditions with modern commuter and tourism-linked livelihoods.
