Caddington is a village and civil parish in the Central Bedfordshire district of Bedfordshire, England.

The western border of the parish is Watling Street, to the west of which is Kensworth. The northern and eastern border are generally formed by the Luton to Dunstable Busway and the M1. To the south-east of the parish is the parish of Slip End, and to the south is Markyate, in Hertfordshire.

Caddington village and the nearby hamlet of Aley Green are in the south of the parish.[2] The hamlet of Chaul End lies in the north of the parish, and at the border with Luton there is Caddington Park with Skimpot in its postal address. The Zouches Farm radio tower is situated in the north-west of the parish.
