Allington is an almost entirely modern village situated alongside the sides of the A20 road west of Maidstone in Kent, England.

The name Allington, which is shared by a hamlet near Lenham, is derived from the Old English tun farmstead; it comes via eleventh-century Elentun and was connected with a man called Ælla.

A Park and Sail service (claimed to be the only one in England)[6] operates on the weekends leading up to Christmas.

Using the car park and boarding by the Malta Inn, the MV Kentish Lady carries shoppers to Maidstone and back.

The nearby 20/20 industrial park, named after the adjacent M20/A20 junction, includes Allington Quarry Waste Management Facility.

At Poplar Park residents have use of football pitches, tennis courts and a children's play area.
