Morcombelake (also spelled Morecombelake) is a small village near Bridport in Dorset, England, within the ancient parish of Whitchurch Canonicorum. Golden Cap, part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, is nearby.
It has a small stone church, St. Gabriel, built 1840-1841, which contains some re-used components salvaged from an earlier chapel nearby that had the same same.
The village was at one time the location of a bakery that made "Moores Famous Dorset Biscuits" a Dorset Knob, since 1880 although manufacturing moved in 2007 to nearby Bridport. The bakery buildings remain although currently disused.
The busy A35 road runs through the small hamlet.
