'''Moccas Court''' is an 18th-century country house which sits in sloping grounds overlooking the River Wye north of the village of Moccas, Herefordshire, England.
The house was built in 1775–81 by the architect Anthony Keck for Sir George Amyand Cornewall to replace the existing Manor house near the church. Built in three storeys to a rectangular plan, it was constructed of brick with stone dressings and a stone tile roof. It has a seven bay frontage with a single storey semi-circular plan porch which was added in 1792. The grounds were landscaped to plans by Capability Brown. The house is a Grade I listed building.<ref>{{NHLE|num=1081852|desc= Moccas Court|accessdate=24 October 2014}}</ref>
The Cornewall family occupied Moccas until 1916 when Sir Geoffrey Cornewall, the 6th Baronet, moved to a smaller house on the estate, after which the house was let on a long lease. After death of Sir William Cornewall, the 7th Baronet in 1962, the estate passed to the Chester-Master family who owned the house until 2014.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.com/travel/destinations/australasia-travel/australia/a-georgian-mansion-to-write-home-about-kjxpvltb8m5|first=Holly|last=Thomas|title=A Georgian mansion to write home about|work=The Times|date=23 May 2014|access-date=11 October 2025}}</ref> It was then sold to Linda Bennett, founder of the fashion house L.K.Bennett.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thedicamillo.com/house/moccas-court/|title=Moccas Court|publisher=DiCamillo|access-date=10 October 2025}}</ref>
