Beaminster is a town in Dorset, England on the A3066 between Bridport and Crewkerne. It is in the valley of the River Brit. It is famous for the Beaminster Festival, an annual nine-day music and art festival.

During the civil war the town declared for Parliament, and was sacked by Royalist forces in 1644. The town did not get a railway and so remained in its small state, and today has a population of 2,791.
