Walcot is a suburb of the city of Bath, England. It lies to the north-north-east of the city centre, and is an electoral ward of the city.

The parish church, on The Paragon is dedicated to St Swithin and was built in 1779-90 by John Palmer.[1]

It was the birthplace of Richard Debaufre Guyon, who would become, in succession, an Austrian officer, a Hungarian rebel and an Ottoman Pasha.
