Stathern is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Melton, Leicestershire, England, set in rolling countryside close to the Vale of Belvoir and within easy reach of Melton Mowbray.

Social life is centred on village events, clubs and the pub, and there is a noticeable focus on conserving local heritage and green spaces that underline Stathern’s village character.
