Wycoller is a hamlet in the civil parish of Trawden Forest in Pendle, Lancashire, England. It is 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Colne, near to the junction of the Lancashire, West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire borders.
The hamlet is centred on the ruins of 16th-century Wycoller Hall and may date back to the 10th century BC. It is in a conservation area, and is closed to outside traffic. There is a car park on the road from Trawden and another on the east side opposite Height Laithe Farm on the road towards Haworth in Yorkshire.
The name is probably from the Old English wīc "dairy farm" and alr "alder", so means "dairy farm by the alders".
