Cropston is a village in Leicestershire, England.

It is on the edge of Charnwood Forest, and lies close to Bradgate Park. The village itself is quite small, with a lot of character, especially around the crossroads. Near the crossroads there are two pubs, The Bradgate Arms and The Badger's Sett (formerly The Reservoir Inn), a chapel and a post office. Cropston Reservoir lies between the village and Bradgate Park.

The Rothley Brook flows between Cropston and Thurcaston, and other nearby villages include Rothley, Anstey, Swithland and Newtown Linford.
