Egginton is a small village and civil parish in South Derbyshire, within the county of Derbyshire in England. Set in a rural landscape but within easy reach of the city of Derby, it lies close to historic transport routes including the Trent and Mersey Canal and the site of a former railway junction, features that helped shape local industry and movement of goods in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The community mixes agricultural activity with a commuter population and contains several older houses and a parish church that testify to its long history; village life tends to centre on the hall, the local pub and seasonal events, and the surrounding countryside and canal towpaths make it popular for walking and quiet recreation.
