Yatesbury is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Cherhill, in Wiltshire, England. It is in the northeast of Cherhill parish, 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the A4 road between Calne – about 4 miles (6 km) away – and Marlborough.

Yatesbury was an ancient parish and in the 19th century became a civil parish, which was absorbed by Cherhill parish on 1 April 1934.[1][2] In 1931 the parish had a population of 140.[3] Yatesbury today has a population of about 150. Whilst having no shops or amenities, the village is on National Cycle Route 403.[4] It is noted for RAF Yatesbury, which was an important training centre during World War II.
