Wickwar is a village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England, located between Yate and Charfield. At the 2021 census, the parish had a population of 2,083.

== History == Wickwar was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as "Wichen", from the Old English (aet) wicum, meaning "(at) the dwellings". The manor was given to John la Warre by King John and was held by Roger la Warre in 1285, when it was referred to as "Warre Wyke". Warre is a Norman family name which gave its name to Wickwar.
