Iwerne Minster is a village in North Dorset, England, situated under Cranborne Chase in the Blackmore Vale just off the A350. The village has a population of 889 (2001) and the major 'industry' is a cheese shop, which employs 57 persons. It has a village shop which doubles as a Post Office and a butchers run by Simon Harvell. The village also has a football field and, due to a lottery grant, a cricket pitch and pavilion.
Iwerne Minster is also home to Clayesmore School, a fee-paying boarding and day school which caters to all ages.
