Sharnbrook is a sizeable village and civil parish in the Borough of Bedford, within Bedfordshire, England. Set in gently rolling agricultural countryside a few miles west of the county town of Bedford, it combines a rural feel with convenient access to regional road links, so many residents commute to nearby towns and cities.

The village has a mix of historic buildings and modern housing, local shops, pubs and community facilities, and is notable for the large secondary and sixth-form college Sharnbrook Academy, which serves a wide hinterland. Farming still shapes the local economy while a busy programme of clubs, societies and occasional village events underpins a strong community life.
