The Crooked Billet is a pub at 14–15 Crooked Billet, facing onto Wimbledon Common, Wimbledon, London. The building dates from the early 18th century and became the Crooked Billet during the 1750s.[1]

The district of Wimbledon called Crooked Billet may have taken its name from the pub.[1][2][3]

In 1888 Young's Brewery leased the Crooked Billet pub, and bought the freehold in 1928. In 1974 Young's Brewery purchased the Hand in Hand. After the pubs were enlarged and refurbished, they were sold in 2006.[4][5] The pubs are separated from the green. In Wright's Alley, Shire horses historically pulled brewer's drays delivering ale to customers."[2]

Both the pub and the area are well regarded.[6][7][8][9] Along with the Hand in Hand pub, it faces onto a small triangular green. Nearby can be found King's College School.{{efn-ua|The origin of the name is disputed.[2][10]}} Eagle House and Wimbledon House are also in the vicinity.[11]

The pub is said to be haunted by an Irish woman, but she only ever appears in the cellars.[1]

There is a neighbouring pub, located just a few yards from the Crooked Billet, named the Hand in Hand.
