Deptford Farm Pastures is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in Devon, England. It was designated in 1991 as a protected area because of the traditionally managed heath, mire and fen at the site that form a community known as Culm Grassland.[1]

Dominated by the plant species, Succisa pratensis, and rare plants, Genista anglica, parts of the land is owned by the Forestry Commission.[2]
