Nanpantan is a historic village,[3] ward and suburb of Loughborough, in the Charnwood borough of Leicestershire, England.

The first edge rails used in a wagonway were on the Charnwood Forest Canal, in the section between Nanpantan and Loughborough.

There is a small church here: Saint Mary in Charnwood, originally built as a mission room by the owner of Nanpantan Hall in 1888.

[7] The parish was later abolished and the village became part of the unparished area of Loughborough.

The ward covers the southwestern part of Loughborough and is mostly rural.
