Boscombe is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Allington, Wiltshire, England. It lies about 3 miles (5 km) southeast of Amesbury on the banks of the River Bourne, on the A338 road which follows the Bourne on its way from Salisbury to Tidworth and beyond.

In 1931 the parish had a population of 117.[1] On 1 April 1934 the parish was abolished and merged with Allington, its upstream neighbour.[2]
