Shutlanger is a small village and civil parish in south Northamptonshire, England. The village is 5 miles east of Towcester and 7 miles (11 km) south of Northampton.

In 1881 Shutlanger parish's total population was 403. In 1901 it was 339 and by 1971 it had dropped to 233.[1] At the time of the 2001 census, it was 270 people.[2]

There was a great medieval house here called the Monastery, but it was just a house and not a monastery in the normal sense.[3] The village is close to Stoke Park Pavilions and originally part of the Stoke Park estate with the first Palladian-style English country house.

Shutlanger has its own Parish Council and belongs to the church grouping with Stoke Bruerne and Grafton Regis.[4] The village has a pub (named The Plough) and a village hall. The nearest primary school and church are at Stoke Bruerne one mile east of Shutlanger.
