Coombe Bissett is a village and civil parish in the English county of Wiltshire, 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Salisbury on the A354 road towards Blandford Forum. Since 1934 the parish includes the village of Homington; both villages are in the River Ebble valley.
A medieval packhorse bridge, now a footbridge, crosses the Ebble close to the newer road bridge at Coombe Bissett.
Coombe Bissett and Homington were separate parishes, each with its own church, until they were united as a joint ecclesiastical parish in 1885. Homington was absorbed into Coombe Bissett civil parish in 1934.
