Burnaston is a small village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, in the East Midlands of England, situated just to the south‑west of the city of Derby. It lies close to major trunk roads linking the city with the wider Midlands, and the surrounding area was traditionally agricultural, so the parish still retains pockets of countryside and open space despite being near urban fringes.
The parish is notable for the large car manufacturing site established on its edge in the early 1990s, which has strongly influenced the local economy and development; alongside this industrial presence there remains a small residential community with local amenities, a primary school and active community groups. Many people commute into Derby and the wider region, giving Burnaston a mix of village character and commuter/industrial ties.
