Bannockburn is a village in West Deerfield and Vernon townships in Lake County, Illinois, United States.

[2] The village is generally considered part of the Chicago area's North Shore region.

[6] The Tri-State Tollway was built through the village in the 1950s, encouraging growth, though traffic noise pollution has been a persistent local concern.

In the late 1960s Bannockburn's citizens, after some debate, approved the construction of the first of several business parks along the village's northern edge.

Bannockburn's municipal services expanded slowly in an effort to limit taxes, but it established a police department in the 1970s and built a village hall in 1992.

The lake-side communities of Highwood and Highland Park lie directly to the east, separating Bannockburn from Lake Michigan.

[16] Part of Trinity International University's campus is located within the boundaries of Bannockburn.

[17] As a small community, Bannockburn relies on neighboring Deerfield for a number of essential services.
