Alderton is a village and civil parish in the Tewkesbury district of Gloucestershire, England.

To avoid controversy, the local primary school - which has two sites, one each in Alderton and Dumbleton - took the name Oak Hill.

There is a number of pubs in the outlying areas around the village, including the Hobnails Inn at Little Washbourne.

Most of the residents are either retired or commute to jobs in nearby Tewkesbury, Cheltenham or Evesham.

Several houses in the outlying areas of the parish are built in a Victorian style using local red brick manufactured from a now-disused clay mine on the top of the nearby Oak Hill (also called Dumbleton Hill or Alderton Hill); these were originally constructed as farmworkers' cottages for the Dumbleton Hall estate (Dumbleton Hall itself is now a hotel).

These footpaths are known locally as "The Dungeons" due to the deep channel that they cut into the hillside and the darkness of overhanging trees.

A number of gamekeepers ensure public safety by directing ramblers to keep to marked footpaths.
