Woolavington is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, lying on the low-lying Somerset Levels a few miles north of Bridgwater. Its location close to the River Parrett means the surrounding landscape is notable for wetlands and birdlife, while the nearby Quantock Hills and easy access to the M5 give a mix of rural character and good transport links.

Historically the settlement has agricultural roots and retains a number of older buildings and a parish church, but today many residents commute to nearby towns for work; village life centres on a primary school, local clubs and annual community events. The combination of level countryside, wildlife interest and proximity to larger centres gives Woolavington a quiet, community-oriented feel with a tangible sense of local history.
