Croughton is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, sitting close to the Oxfordshire border and near market towns such as Brackley and Banbury. It has a compact historic core of stone cottages and a parish church with medieval roots, and remains a largely rural community centred on farming alongside everyday amenities like a village hall and a pub.
A notable feature is the nearby communications site known as RAF Croughton, which gives the village an unusual international connection and provides local employment. Otherwise Croughton is popular with commuters and those seeking a quiet rural base within easy reach of the M40 corridor and surrounding towns.
