Winthorpe is a small village and civil parish in the district of Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, England, lying just outside the market town of Newark-on-Trent and close to the floodplain of the River Trent. Its riverside setting and easy road access – with the A1 and mainline rail connections a short drive away via Newark-on-Trent – make it a quiet but well connected rural community.

The nearby former airfield, RAF Winthorpe, is now home to the Newark Air Museum, giving the area an aviation heritage that attracts visitors; locally the economy remains rooted in agriculture with many residents commuting to Nottingham or Lincoln. The village retains a parish feel with historic cottages and community activities, and benefits from proximity to the amenities and history of Newark-on-Trent.
