Poundisford Park north of Pitminster, Somerset, England is an English country house that typifies progressive housebuilding on the part of the West Country gentry in the mid-16th century. The main house was built for William Hill around 1550 and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

In addition to several buildings the park contains formal gardens which were originally laid out in the 17th century set within a medieval deer park.
