Eastleach is a civil parish in the Cotswold District of the county of Gloucestershire, England. It was created in 1935 when the separate parishes of Eastleach Martin and part of the Eastleach Turville were combined as the civil parish of Eastleach. Today the two villages of the parish are separated only by the narrow River Leach, which is crossed by a stone road bridge and a stone slab clapper footbridge.
