Milton Lilbourne is a village and civil parish in the county of Wiltshire, England, in the Vale of Pewsey between Pewsey and Burbage. It is largely a mixed residential area centred on the Manor. The nearest town is Marlborough, 5.5 miles (8.9 km) to the north.

The parish includes the following hamlets:

  • Clench – to the north, near Wootton Rivers
  • Fyfield with Fyfield Manor – west, near Pewsey (not to be confused with the village of Fyfield near Marlborough)
  • Little Salisbury – west, on the Pewsey-Burbage road
  • Littleworth – north, on the other side of the Pewsey-Burbage road
  • Milkhouse Water, formerly Milcot Water – northwest, by the Avon
  • New Mill – north, also by the Avon

The parish is unusual in that it has a long thin shape and is one of the few to have boundaries on the uplands to both south and north of the Vale. The southern boundary passes by a long barrow and the northern one abuts the prehistoric fort on Martinsell Hill.
