Hardingstone is a village in Northamptonshire, England. It is on the southern edge of Northampton, and now forms a suburb of the town. It is about 1 mile (2 km) from the town centre. The Newport Pagnell road (the B526, formerly part of the A50) separates the village from the nearby village of Wootton, which has also been absorbed into the urban area.

The village's name means 'Hearding's Thorn-tree'.^[1] The parish includes part of the Brackmills Industrial Estate, and borders Delapré Abbey.
