Whitchurch is a village in north Somerset, England and an adjoining suburb of southern Bristol, bounded by Hartcliffe to the west and Hengrove and Knowle to the north. The suburb was initially developed during the 1930s.

The A37 road, which passes through Whitchurch, links Bristol with Dorchester. Within Bristol the A37 is known as Wells Road, and was one of the first dual carriageways to be built in Bristol.

The name means "the white church", and was first recorded in 1230. Another source dated about 1500 may be a copy of a record dated to 1065. The village church, St Nicholas, was built on the site of a chapel dedicated to St. White, which presumably provides the origin of the village name.

The village in its present location dates from about the 12th century, when the centre of population of an older village named Filton, Filwood or Felton, west of the present village, moved to the present site. The parish was still sometimes known as Felton as late as the 19th century. The parish of Whitchurch was part of the Keynsham Hundred in Somerset.

John Collinson, who was vicar of Long Ashton and curate of Whitchurch, provided a history of the village, together with a description of its present state, in 1791.

The area became a civil parish in 1866. The northern parts of the civil parish were transferred to Bristol in the 1930s and 1951. From then, Whitchurch was divided between a suburb of Bristol and a village outside the city in Somerset.

The suburb now lies in the Hengrove and Whitchurch Park electoral ward.

The suburb is one of only two parts of Bristol not to use the 0117 dialling code. Along with Stockwood, Whitchurch numbers use the 01275 code of north Somerset instead.
