Brafield-on-the-Green is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set in the rolling farmland a few miles south of Northampton. It centres on a traditional village green and lanes, giving it a very rural feel while still being within easy reach of larger towns and commuter routes.
Despite its size the village has an active community life and a strong agricultural heritage, and is locally notable for Brafield Stadium, which stages stock-car and banger racing and draws motorsport fans from the surrounding area. Social hubs such as the village hall and pub help sustain a close-knit local community alongside the quieter, pastoral character of the locality.
