Glooston is a small village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England.

The manor passed to John Colly, a distant Harington relative, in 1480 after a protracted legal dispute.

His descendant Anthony Colly put the manor in trust in 1587 to pay an annuity of £100 for 60 years to a skinner, Randall Manning of London.

By the 17th century half of the agricultural land in the parish (to the north of the village) was enclosed and laid down to pasture as sheep runs.

The parish church of St John the Baptist was rebuilt in 1866-67 by the architect Joseph Goddard of Leicester.
