Old Warden is a village in Bedfordshire, England just west of the town of Biggleswade.

It is widely known as the home of the Shuttleworth Trust, an early organisation committed to the preservation of transport artifacts, primarily cycles, cars, and aeroplanes, produced in the early part of the 20th century. The estate also has buildings and gardens of great beauty, and a small airfield from which some of the historic aircraft occasionally fly. The estate, museum, and airfield are open to visitors at a price.

For local government purposes it forms part of Mid Bedfordshire District council and is within the Mid Bedfordshire parliamentary constituency, whose Member of Parliament is currently Nadine Dorries of the Conservative Party.
