Moulton is a large village in West Northamptonshire. The population of the civil parish at the 2021 Census was 5,491.

The villages name is thought to be derived from 'town of the mill', or perhaps 'Meleton' - meaning protected town, since the church, manor house and castle were all within bowshot.

Moulton Parish Council won the Local Council Award Scheme Gold in 2024.
