Pilsdon is a hamlet and civil parish in the Dorset unitary authority area of Dorset, England. Dorset County Council's 2013 mid-year estimate of the parish population is 50. ^[1]

The Grade II* Pilsdon Manor House dates from the start of the 17th century. ^[2] It was owned by the Wyndham family until 1958, when it became an Anglican religious community, similar in principle to the 17th-century Little Gidding community. ^[3] The Pilsdon Community also has a branch at West Malling in Kent. ^[4]
