Combpyne is a hamlet in East Devon off the A3052 road between Colyford and Lyme Regis in Dorset.
Situated in a Devon combe, this scattered hamlet includes a medieval manor house, a 12th century church and a village pond known as 'The Harbour'. It is in a parish that also includes the village of Rousdon to the south.
Combpyne once had a railway station on the Lyme Regis branch line that closed in 1965. Traces of the dismantled railway including the large Cannington Viaduct can be seen nearby.
