Naunton is a village in Gloucestershire, England. It is situated in the Cotswolds, an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB); approximately 6 miles West of Stow-on-the-Wold and 12 miles East of Cheltenham.

The population of Naunton in 2000 was 371. There has probably been a settlement here for at least 2000 years. Formerly an agrarian based community, with the customary supportive trades, the turn of the second millennium witnessed a state of advanced transition into a dormitory type village, devoid of shops and with spiraling property prices that most local people can no longer afford, whilst still enjoying a fairly vibrant community spirit.
