Tuckenhay is a hamlet in the South Hams in Devon, England, {{convert|2.5|mi}} south of Totnes. It lies on the south bank of Bow Creek, the estuary of the Harbourne River, which flows into the River Dart.

The name is first recorded only from 1550, and possibly means "at the oak enclosure" (Middle English atte oken hay).{{Citation | contribution = Tuckenhay | year = 2010 | title = The Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names | editor-last = Watts | editor-first = Victor | publisher = Cambridge University Press | isbn=9780521168557 }}
