Moreton Pinkney is a village and civil parish in the English county of Northamptonshire.
It is in the south west of the county, forming part of the district of South Northamptonshire.
It once had two railway stations, one to the North on the Stratford-upon-Avon and Midland Junction Railway (later part of the LMS), but this closed in April 1952 and one to the South of the village called 'Culworth Station'.
Surrounded by villages which are well known for their 18th century architecture using local 'brown' iron stone, Moreton Pinkney is relatively below par with a mixture of old and 1950's council houses. There are some nice houses in the centre including the Manor complex.
The village church, St Mary the Virgin, dates from the twelfth century, although most of the present building is much later. The village once had three pubs: The Crown, on Brook Street, and the Red Lion and Dun Cow on Upper Green. The Red Lion (more recently known as England's Rose) closed c.2004.
