Gunthorpe is a small riverside parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, in Nottinghamshire, England. Sitting beside the River Trent, it enjoys a tranquil setting of floodplain meadows and riverbank paths that attract walkers, anglers and birdwatchers; its location also means many residents commute to nearby towns such as Newark or Nottingham.

Historically the community has grown from agricultural roots and retains a mix of older cottages and more recent homes, giving it a quietly historic character without major tourist development. Local life is typical of a small parish, with a tight-knit social scene, occasional village events and easy access to wider heritage and countryside pursuits in the surrounding Newark and Sherwood area.
