Nomansland is a hamlet in Devon with a population of about 150. It lies above the River Dalch, eight miles west of Tiverton along the B3137 road and is served by the No.155 bus, which runs between Exeter and Barnstaple by way of Tiverton.

The hamlet is so named because it was at one time a remote area where the Parishes of Witheridge, Thelbridge and Cruwys Morchard met and not assigned to a particular parish.

There is no church in the hamlet, and it still lies across the boundary of the three parishes, which meet near the crossroads at the northern edge of Nomansland.
