Temple Balsall is a preceptory of the Knights Templar situated in Warwickshire, England. The site was established in the twelfth century as a commandery of the military religious order, with the Templars holding significant landholdings in the surrounding region. Following the suppression of the Knights Templar in the early fourteenth century, the preceptory passed to the Knights Hospitaller, who maintained its agricultural and administrative functions. The surviving structures and earthwork remains reflect its medieval origins and its continued use as an ecclesiastical and manorial centre through the medieval period.
