Ampney St Mary is a small village and civil parish in the Cotswolds, part of the Cotswold of Gloucestershire, England. According to the 2001 census the parish has a population of 54, increasing to 218 at the 2011 census.[1]

The Ampney Brook flows near the village, which is near to Ampney Crucis and Ampney St Peter, and is about four miles east of Cirencester. The village takes its name from the brook and the local church. The village is also locally known as "Ashbrook".

The village has an ancient pub, The Red Lion - one of the few pubs left without a bar counter and with no beers but two real ales on sale. The opening hours are infrequent.
