Broughton is a small village and civil parish in North Northamptonshire, England, set in a rural landscape of arable fields and hedgerows not far from the county town of Northampton and neighbouring market towns. The settlement has a compact historic core of traditional cottages and a parish church, with later housing expanding the village footprint.

The community retains a relaxed, village character with a village hall, pub and local activities that help bind residents together; many people commute to nearby towns while farming and small local businesses remain part of the local economy. The built environment and surrounding field patterns hint at medieval origins and gradual change, offering a quiet mix of heritage and contemporary village life.
