North Crawley is a small village and civil parish in the northern part of the City of Milton Keynes unitary area, historically in Buckinghamshire, England. It sits amid farmland and hedgerows and retains a distinctly rural character, with a parish church dating back to the medieval period, several listed timber‑framed and brick houses, and a landscape that reflects its agricultural origins; the name is thought to derive from Old English suggesting a "crow clearing".
Today the village combines a quiet country economy with a commuter connection to nearby Milton Keynes, and community life centres on the village hall, the pub, the church and occasional local events such as fêtes and village shows. Its compact size and lanes make it popular with walkers and those seeking a traditional village atmosphere while still being within reach of larger towns.
