Engine Common is a small hamlet in South Gloucestershire, England. Its name hints at a 19th‑century industrial past - many "Engine Common" localities grew up around steam engines used for pumping or winding in local coal or quarry workings - and it sits amid the rolling farmland, hedgerows and small woodlands that characterise the area to the north‑east of Bristol.
Today Engine Common is largely a quiet, residential spot with a close‑knit local feel; residents typically look to nearby market towns and cities for shops and work, and the surrounding lanes and footpaths make it popular for countryside walks and enjoying the rural character of the wider South Gloucestershire area.
