Hepscott is a small village in the county of Northumberland, England, about 2 miles (3 km) south east of Morpeth, the county town.
The name is Anglo-Saxon in origin and a derivation of "Shepherd's Cote". This suggests that the village, which was a hamlet prior to expansion since the 1980s, originated as the homestead of a shepherd, possibly in the early medieval period.
