Westcot is a hamlet in the civil parish of Sparsholt, in the Vale of White Horse district, in Oxfordshire, England, about {{convert|4|mi}} west of Wantage.

Westcot Camera was situated here, a property of the Templars and later of the Hospitallers until the order and their houses were suppressed in the Reformation and the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when the site contained a gatehouse and a dwelling house, of which nothing remains.[https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=229256&resourceID=19191 Heritage Gateway - Historic England Research Records: Monument Number 229256] After the Dissolution a private house, Westcott House, was built near the site.[https://heritagesearch.oxfordshire.gov.uk/images/POX0119448 Oxfordshire County Council - Heritage Search: Westcott House, Sparsholt, Oxfordshire]
