Is it possible and if so how do I rename a work item type in Azure DevOps (VSTS)?
Essentially I just want to change the name "Bug" to "Defect".

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

You can't change the name of "Bug" to another name because it's system work item type.

If you want to use "Defect" instead of "Bug" you can create a custom process template:

Add new work item type with name "Defect" (define all the fields like in Bug):

Disable the "Bug":
