Impington is a compact village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying just north of Cambridge and contiguous with neighbouring Histon. Its proximity to the city makes it a popular commuter settlement, but it still retains a village feel with local shops, green spaces and active community facilities.
The area has medieval roots and a historic parish church, St Andrew's Church, while the 20th‑century Impington Village College is notable for its modernist design by Walter Gropius, a distinctive feature for a village setting. The local economy is largely residential with small businesses and community organisations, and the twin-village identity with Histon supports a lively programme of clubs and events.
