Cotes is a hamlet and very small civil parish near the town of Loughborough in Leicestershire, England.

At the 2011 census the population remained less than 100 and was included in the civil parish of Burton on the Wolds.

The B676, the only other significant nearby road, begins at the A60 just to the east of Cotes Bridge and goes off towards the village of Burton on the Wolds.

[4] The medieval village of Cotes itself was abandoned around 1690, possibly because of plague, although most commentators suggest the impact of the inclosure acts is a more likely explanation.

[5] The former Member of Parliament for the local Loughborough constituency from 2010 to 2019, Nicky Morgan, chose to include the name of the area as part of her title upon elevation to the House of Lords as Baroness Morgan of Cotes.
