Winterborne Stickland is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in southern England. It lies within the North Dorset administrative district, about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of the town of Blandford Forum. In 2013 the civil parish had an estimated population of 520.[1] In the 2011 census the parish, combined with the smaller neighbouring parishes of Winterborne Clenston to the south and Turnworth to the north, recorded a population of 653.[2]

Winterborne Stickland is sited in a winterbourne valley in the Dorset Downs, which gives rise to the first part of its name. The second part "Stickland" is derived from sticol, Old English for "steep".[3]

To the north of the village is a children's playground, cricket pitch and football pitch with clubhouse. To the north of that a small orchard of apple, pear and plum trees has been planted.
