Colerne is a village and civil parish in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in north Wiltshire.

It has an elevated and exposed position, 545 feet (166 m) above sea level, and overlooks the Box valley to the south.
The parish includes the hamlets of Eastrip and Thickwood. It is bounded to the west by a stretch of the Fosse Way Roman road, which forms the county boundary with Gloucestershire, and to the east by the Bybrook River. Part of the northern boundary is the Doncombe Brook, a tributary of the Bybrook, and part of the southern boundary is the Lid Brook, another tributary.
