Lustleigh is a small village and civil parish in the Wray Valley, inside the Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. It is between the towns of Bovey Tracey and Moretonhampstead. The village has often been named in various publications as being amongst the best or prettiest villages in the country, particularly due to the traditional thatched buildings in the village centre, and local activities such as the Lustleigh Show. That has also led to it being noted as the most expensive rural location in which to buy a house.

The village is clustered around the parish church of St John the Baptist. Surrounding this are old buildings, many of which have thatched roofs. There is a village shop with Post Office, auto mechanic, tea room and a pub.
