Rampton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, England, set in agricultural countryside just to the north of the market town of Retford. It has a compact historic core with a parish church and a number of listed buildings that reflect its rural past and local heritage.

The village is perhaps best known for the nearby Rampton Hospital, a high‑security psychiatric hospital on the edge of the community; beyond that, life in Rampton remains quietly agricultural, with a small, close-knit population and the kinds of village activities and amenities typical of rural Nottinghamshire.
