Westcot is a hamlet in the civil parish of Sparsholt, in the Vale of White Horse district, in Oxfordshire, England, about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Wantage.

Westcot Camera was situated here, a property of the Templars and later of the Hospitallers until the order and their houses were suppressed in the Reformation and the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when the site contained a gatehouse and a dwelling house, of which nothing remains.[1] After the Dissolution a private house, Westcott House, was built near the site.[2]
