West Coker is a compact village and civil parish in Somerset, England, set a few miles to the west of Yeovil in the South Somerset countryside.

The settlement has a noticeable historic core, with stone cottages and a parish church of medieval origin, reflecting the local building traditions and long agricultural past. Today the local economy blends farming and small enterprises with many residents commuting to nearby centres; social life revolves around village institutions such as the hall, church and occasional community events that keep the village character lively.
