Catesby is a civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England. There are two hamlets, Lower Catesby and Upper Catesby, each of which is a shrunken village. The site of the abandoned village of Newbold is also in the parish. The 2001 Census recorded a parish population of 76.[1]

Catesby Priory was a community of Cistercian nuns in Lower Catesby, founded in about 1175 and suppressed in 1536. The Priory then became a private residence, Catesby House. There was no separate church for the village: the graveyard and chapel of Catesby House served the community.[2]

The lexicographer, Rev.John Parkhurst was born at Lower Catesby.[2]

In the eastern part of the parish is Catesby Tunnel, a tunnel on the former Great Central Line that was completed in 1897 and has been disused since 1966.
