Wilmersham Common stone row is a Neolithic or Bronze Age ceremonial or ritual monument located in Somerset, consisting of standing stones arranged in linear formation. The site lies in the parish of Wiveliscombe, approximately 320 metres south-east of the confluence of Embercombe and Chetsford waters, in an area rich in prehistoric archaeology. Such stone rows are characteristic monuments of the Bronze Age period, though some may have earlier origins, and their precise ritual or ceremonial function remains subject to scholarly debate.
