Yeovil Hospital, previously known as Yeovil District Hospital, is a hospital in Yeovil, Somerset, England, managed by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
The hospital has its origins in a general dispensary established at the suggestion of Dr Elias Taylor Warry in a cottage in Kingston in March 1858. [1] This was replaced by a purpose-built facility at Batt's Corner known as Fiveways Hospital in 1872.

The current facility was designed by Sir Percy Thomas & Son and construction started in Higher Kingston in 1968. [5] It was officially opened by Prince Edward, Duke of Kent on 15 October 1973.
