North Brewham Meadows (grid reference ST743379) is a 8.9 hectare (21.9 acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Somerset, notified in 1987.

These traditionally-managed species-rich meadows support a neutral grassland community of the nationally rare Common Knapweed Crested Dog's-tail type. Breeding butterflies typical of unimproved neutral grassland include Small Copper (Lycaena phaeas), Meadow Brown (Maniola jurtina), Grayling (Hipparchia semele) and Ringlet (Aphantopus hyperantus).[1]
