Husbands Bosworth is a compact village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England, set in pleasant rolling countryside a short distance from Market Harborough. The village has a historic core of stone and brick buildings clustered around its parish church and retains a distinctly rural character.
One of the most notable local features is the nearby former wartime aerodrome, RAF Husbands Bosworth, which survives as a small airfield used for gliding and light aviation and is marked by memorials to its history. The local economy remains largely agricultural with some small businesses and commuters to nearby towns; socially the village supports a lively community scene with a village hall, pub and the sorts of annual fêtes and events common to English villages.
