Orcop is a village and civil parish in south Herefordshire, England. It lies 9.4 miles west of Ross-on-Wye, and 10.2 miles south of the county town, Hereford.
It has a well-preserved early Norman motte-and-bailey castle and a church dedicated to St. John the Baptist which has a chancel built around 1300, and a tower that was added early in the 16th century. The larger village of Orcop Hill is nearby, which is considered part of the broader "Orcop" area.
