Misson is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, England. It is located 12 miles north of Retford, and not directly accessible from the rest of Nottinghamshire, as it is on the north bank of the River Idle. Misson Springs, which lie north of the village itself, is the northernmost place within the county. The parish also includes the hamlet of Newington, at its western edge. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 698, increasing to 711 at the 2011 census, and marginally more to 713 residents at the 2021 census.
The parish church of St John the Baptist was rebuilt after extensive damage by lightning in 1894. RAF Misson was located about a mile to the north-east of the village.
Permission was granted in 2016 to test for shale gas in Misson.
