Loughton (/ˈlaʊtən/) is a village dating back to ancient times and modern district in the civil parish of Loughton and Great Holm in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. The village spreads between Watling Street and the modern A5 road, to the west of, and about 1 mile from, Central Milton Keynes.
Although Loughton is now largely residential, much of the character of the original village remains. To the north-east of Bradwell Road, the area bounded by School Lane and Church Lane contains All Saints Church and remnants of the original parish of Great Loughton. To the south-west of Bradwell Road, around The Green, there is a cluster of sixteenth-century buildings, including Manor Farm, Manor Farm Cottages, and Cell Farm, which represent the remains of the original parish of Little Loughton.
Today, Loughton is home to a large equestrian centre, within whose grounds the medieval field pattern and fish pond are still visible. The district is bounded by the A5 to the east, H5 Portway to the north, V4 Watling Street to the west, and H6 Childs Way to the south.
