Barton is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, situated a short distance from Cambridge. It keeps a largely rural character with surrounding arable farmland while also serving as a commuter community, so you get a mix of historic buildings and more recent residential development.

The village has medieval roots reflected in its parish church and a number of listed buildings, and local life is centred on community institutions such as the village hall and local events. Its proximity to Cambridge and the surrounding green corridors makes it popular with walkers and families who want countryside access without giving up city amenities.
