Warboys is an electoral ward and village in the north of Huntingdonshire, in Cambridgeshire, England. It sits on the fen-edge countryside to the north‑east of Huntingdon, surrounded by arable farmland, former gravel workings and patches of wetland, with the remains of the wartime airfield RAF Warboys just beyond the settlement.
Historically the area has a long rural pedigree - visible in its medieval church and local houses - and is also associated with a notorious early‑modern witchcraft case that has shaped local heritage. Today the ward combines agriculture with a commuter population and an active village community centred on halls, sports clubs and small businesses, while the surrounding lakes and fen fringes attract local walkers and birdwatchers.
