Luccombe (parish) is a small civil parish in Somerset, England, sitting on the northern edge of Exmoor National Park. The parish is characteristically rural, with a mix of moorland, rolling farmland and dramatic coastal fringes that attract walkers on the South West Coast Path, and offers wide views across the Bristol Channel towards towns such as Minehead and Porlock.

Historically an agricultural community with medieval roots, Luccombe now balances traditional farming with tourism and holiday accommodation brought by the National Park designation; the area is known for its stone-built cottages, a small parish church and a close-knit village feel, while conservation and wildlife interest - heathland flora and seabirds - remain important locally.
