Gamston is a village and civil parish four miles south of Retford in the English county of Nottinghamshire.

Gamston was home to a rectory in the past, and today forms the name of a lane in the village.

The ancient parish wood[4] was purchased by the Forestry Commission in 1984 and covers 41 hectares (100 acres).

[5] The village has played a significant role in Baptist history, especially as the baptismal place of the 'Baptist John Wesley', Dan Taylor.

[6] Henry Fynes Clinton (1781–1852), an English classical scholar, chronologist and Member of Parliament was born in Gamston.
