Bugbrooke is a village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, on a ridge overlooking the valley of the River Nene.

The name of the stream is supposed to be a corruption of Horse-stone, as an old packhorse route crossed the brook by a simple slab bridge just outside the village.

Heygate's trucks, with their distinctive maroon markings, can frequently be seen rumbling along Bugbrooke's main road.

[6] A row of yellow-brick cottages in Church Lane, close to the brook were built in 1844 in the Gothic style by Edmund Francis Law and were originally a National School with accommodation for the master.

The village has three pubs: "The Bakers Arms" in the High Street; "The Wharf" alongside the Grand Union Canal and "The Five Bells"[7] opposite the church.

[6] A village magazine, "Bugbrooke Link",[9] is published bi-monthly, and includes regular reporting of Church, Parish Council and sports events.

The club have 3 senior XV teams playing in the Midland Division, and an active Junior section.

Bugbrooke BC compete in the Northamptonshire Badminton League[14] There is a large, modern community centre at Camp Close on the southern edge of the village.

Bugbrooke was the birthplace of the Jesus Army, which sprang out of the Baptist Chapel in the centre of the village.
