Starcross (IPA: [stɑːˈkɹɒs]) is a riverside village with a population of approximately 2000, situated on the west bank of the estuary of the River Exe in Devon, England. The village is popular in summer with leisure craft, and is home to one of the UK's oldest sailing clubs. A small passenger ferry operates across the River Exe to Exmouth.
A notable feature of Starcross is the Italianate pumping engine house, the best surviving building from Brunel's unsuccessful Atmospheric Railway. The enterprise is commemorated in the Atmospheric Railway pub located opposite the present-day railway station.
