Old Stratford is a village and wider civil parish in the south of the English county of Northamptonshire.

The Roman road in this sense is the Watling Street that runs through the middle of the village.

The Ouse forms the boundary of the civil parish with that of Stony Stratford and also that between Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire.

The village has a few local facilities (two motor dealers, a Chinese takeaway, a fried chicken takeway and a corner shop), and relies on Stony Stratford and Milton Keynes for a broader range of shops as well as for its medical, financial and other professional needs.

There is a primary school[4] part of West Northamptonshire Council local education authority.
