Blackminster is a hamlet in the south-east of Worcestershire, two and a half miles east of Evesham, at a crossroads between the surrounding villages of Offenham, South Littleton, Bretforton and Badsey.

The hamlet has a large middle school, and haulage and horticultural produce companies.

Littleton and Badsey railway station was located in Blackminster. It opened in 1884 on the line from Oxford to Worcester, and closed in 1966. The site of the former station has been converted into a business and retail park.
