Bickington is a village and civil parish in the Teignbridge district of Devon, England, on the east edge of the Dartmoor National Park. At the 2001 census it had a population of 311. The village is about five miles west of Newton Abbot, on the River Lemon. The church is 15th century but was built on the site of an earlier church; its lychgate has a room over it.
The village was historically known as "Bichentone" or "Buketon". Whilst it was previously a manor, the manorial estate was "dismembered" (dissolved and split between neighbouring manors), likely sometime in the 16th century.
