Screveton (pronounced locally "Screveeton" or "Screeton") is an English civil parish and village in the Rushcliffe borough of Nottinghamshire, with (including Kneeton) 191 inhabitants at the 2011 census.

[3] Richard Whalley, who died at the old hall in Screveton in 1583, had been elected to Parliament four times in the troubled Tudor period.

[5] The main landowners at that time were the politicians Sydney Pierrepont, 3rd Earl Manvers, and Thomas Thoroton-Hildyard, a descendant of the 17th-century local historian Robert Thoroton.

[6] Two young men from Screveton who died for their country in the First World War are remembered on a memorial stone in the village churchyard.

[8] Other listed edifices in the village include the Old Priest's House, Top Farmhouse and adjacent buildings, and the circular pinfold,[9] whose unusual shape is also found in pounds at Scarrington and Flintham.
