Wistow is a small village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside a short drive from the market town of Market Harborough. Its compact settlement pattern of stone and brick cottages, farmsteads and a parish church gives it a distinctly rural character, with lanes and fields that are popular with walkers and cyclists.
The village has historic roots reflected in older buildings and a quiet village-centre community life; the local economy remains largely agricultural with a proportion of residents commuting to nearby towns for work. Socially there is an active village hall and occasional fêtes and events that keep a strong sense of local identity, while its proximity to larger towns means services and amenities are readily accessible.
