Woodchester Roman Villa is situated at Woodchester near Stroud in the English county of Gloucestershire.

It is one of many Roman villas discovered in Gloucestershire and was occupied between the early second and late fourth centuries AD. There is now nothing visible of the villa above ground and the site is occupied by a later churchyard. The villa’s most famous feature is the Orpheus mosaic, the second largest of its kind in Europe and one of the most intricate. It dates to c. AD 325 and was re-discovered by Gloucestershire-born antiquarian Samuel Lysons in 1793.
