Stert is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. Its nearest town is Devizes, about away to the northwest.
The village is south of the A342 Devizes- Andover road. The Wayside Monument (previously known as The Long Monument) stands at the roadside, just over the border in Etchilhampton parish. It was erected in 1771 and dedicated to James Long of Wedhampton, who had promoted the diversion of the road to a more southerly route, avoiding Etchilhampton Hill.
