Wigston Meadowcourt is a suburban ward within the borough of Oadby and Wigston in Leicestershire, England. It sits on the southern fringe of the market town of Wigston Magna and is largely residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces, interwar and post‑war housing, small local shops and pocket parks that give it a village‑like feel despite close links to nearby Leicester.
The area developed as a commuter suburb from the late 19th century and today local life revolves around schools, community centres and modest high‑street retail; many residents work locally in services or travel into the city. Community groups are active and the ward exemplifies south Leicestershire suburbs where practical amenities, historic roots and decent transport connections shape everyday life.
