Mortehoe () is a village and former manor on the north coast of Devon, England. It lies 10 miles north-west of Barnstaple, near Woolacombe and Lee Bay, and is sited in a valley within the hilly sand-dune-like land behind Morte Point, almost directly above Woolacombe. The parish population at the 2011 census was 1,637.

Background
History
Mortehoe can trace its origins back to the Domesday Book of 1086 and beyond. Always a farming community, in former years it was a base for smugglers and wreckers. Since the coming of the railway in the 19th century, notably the Ilfracombe Branch Line, Mortehoe became much more dependent on tourism, with numerous camp sites and holiday camps in the vicinity.
