Dinton Quarry is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Wiltshire, England. It covers about 3,000 square metres (32,000 square feet) and was designated in 1990. The long-disused quarry is made of Middle Purbeck limestone and was the main source of the late Jurassic fossil insects described by Brodie in 1845.
