Somerset and Bath Constabulary was a short-lived police force in England from 1967 to 1974. It was created as a merger of the Somerset Constabulary and Bath City Police and covered the administrative county of Somerset and the county borough of Bath. It was amalgamated under the Local Government Act 1972 with Bristol City Police and parts of the Gloucestershire Constabulary to form the Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
