All Cannings (pronounced "Allcannings") is a village and civil parish in the English county of Wiltshire, about 4 miles (6 km) east of Devizes. The parish includes the nearby smaller settlement of Allington. In 2011 the parish had a population of 649.

The southern part of the parish lies in the Vale of Pewsey, and in the north the parish extends some 3 miles (5 km) onto the Marlborough Downs and includes Tan Hill, which is (by a small margin) the second highest hill in Wiltshire.[2] Etchilhampton Water, a tributary of the River Avon, forms part of the southern boundary of the parish. Moor Brook flows south through Allington and All Cannings villages to join it.[3]
