Old Dalby is a rural ward in the borough of Melton, in Leicestershire, England. It covers the village of Old Dalby and surrounding farmland, with rolling fields, hedgerows and a small, dispersed population made up of farms and residential properties rather than large estates or urban development.
At its heart the compact village provides a parish church, village hall and local clubs that give a strong community feel, while the nearby Old Dalby Test Track lends a distinctive transport heritage as a specialist rail testing line. The local economy is largely agricultural, supplemented by commuters to larger centres such as Leicester and Nottingham, and the area contains several older stone cottages and farmhouses that hint at a long, sometimes medieval, history.
