Lighthorne Heath is a small civil parish and village in the district of Stratford-on-Avon, in Warwickshire, England. It occupies low-lying former heathland close to Lighthorne and Gaydon, with easy access to the M40; the nearby former RAF Gaydon airfield and the British Motor Museum give the locality an unusual modern-industrial edge amid a largely rural landscape.

The community is compact and residential, with a mix of people who commute to larger towns and others employed locally in agriculture or the nearby automotive and heritage attractions. Historically the area has simple heathland and farming roots, and today retains a village feel with active local groups and occasional community events that reflect that quiet, rural character alongside its 20th-century military and motoring connections.
