Combe Raleigh is a village in the English county of Devon. The word 'Combe' is of Celtic origin meaning 'valley' whilst the name 'Raleigh' comes from the Raleigh family's ownership of the village in the thirteenth century.

The 15th century parish church (st. Nicholas) has three bells and its minister is shared with the nearby village of Awliscombe. The village lacks any kind of shop due no doubt to its location only 1.5 miles NW of Honiton.

In the past twenty to thirty years agriculture has declined considerably in the area. The village does however have three horticulture based business'.
