Whiteleigh Meadows is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in Devon, England, east of Holsworthy. It was designated as a protected area in 1987 because of its plant diversity in unimproved grassland. It is dominated by "Dactylorhiza maculata", the heath spotted orchid. Although Whiteleigh Meadows was a subject of the court case brought when Natural England discovered unauthorised grazing of livestock at the site, parts of the land area is owned by the Forestry Commission.
