Bickenhall is a hamlet and parish in Somerset, England, situated 5 miles (8.0 km) south east of Taunton. The parish, which includes the hamlet of Batten's Green, has a population of 122.[1]

Bickenhall is a widely scattered hamlet lying between the A358 and the village of Staple Fitzpaine.

The village consists of farms, houses and smallholdings. It has no shops or pubs, barring a recently opened sculpture studio at Bickenhall Farm. Bickenhall is also home to Neroche Parish Hall, formerly St. Pauls church (though has the appearance of a Methodist type church rather than one with a tower).
