Hidcote Bartrim is a small village now in the civil parish of Mickleton in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England. The nearest town is Chipping Campden, which is approximately 2.75 miles (4.43 km) south-west from the village. The village is on the Gloucestershire-Warwickshire border.

Hidcote Bartrim was a separate civil parish between 1866 and 1935. In 1935 it was absorbed into the parish of Ebrington and Ebrington was transferred from Campden Rural District to the newly-formed and larger North Cotswold Rural District. The merger of the enlarged parish into Mickleton is more recent and may have happened in 1974 when the municipal districts were organized.
