Eastnor /iːstnər/ is a village in Herefordshire, England, 2 mi (3 km) east of Ledbury and the same distance from the tripoint of the county with Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.

Eastnor Castle built by Earl Somers (d.1841) is within its medieval-founded parish which it is named after. The settlement is also the main settlement of its civil parish.

The 12th-century Church of St John the Baptist was redesigned and rebuilt by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1852[2] and is a grade I listed building.[3] Eastnor Lake occupies a similar area to the village centre and is at the point where two streams from the north join to form the Glynch Brook, one of two similar axis left-bank tributaries of the River Leadon.
