Benington is a small village and civil parish in East Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England, set in gently rolling farmland and hedged lanes typical of the East Herts countryside. The settlement retains a compact, rural character with a mix of historic cottages and agricultural land, and it sits within a largely agricultural landscape with good road links that make commuting to larger nearby towns common for residents.
Historically the village has medieval roots and is best known for the moated manor and ornamental grounds at Benington Lordship, whose gardens draw visitors in spring; the parish also contains a listed church and several older buildings that reflect its long history. Social life centres on traditional village institutions and occasional community events, while the local economy blends farming, small businesses and the role of a commuter dormitory village for the wider Hertfordshire area.
