Roade is a village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set on the edge of Northamptonshire's low-lying countryside just south of Northampton. Its position close to the M1 and the historic route of Watling Street has made it a transport hub, so many residents commute to nearby centres such as Northampton and Milton Keynes while the surrounding land remains largely agricultural.
The village retains a strong community feel, with a medieval parish church, a primary school, village hall and a couple of pubs, and its character reflects centuries of rural life alongside modern small businesses and light industry that grew up because of the road and rail links; local history is shaped by coaching and railway connections that helped it develop from a farming settlement into a commuter-friendly village.
