King's Walden is a civil parish in the English county of Hertfordshire. The parish contains several settlements, with the largest village being Breachwood Green. King's Walden itself is a non-nucleated settlement, with several small clusters of development, notably around the parish church, at Plough Lane (where the village shop and pub are located), and at Ley Green.

The parish also includes the hamlets of Darleyhall, Lye Hill, Wandon End, Wandon Green and Winch Hill. At the south of the parish there is Lawrence End Park. The parish covers a large rural area lying south-west of the town of Hitchin, which serves as its post town, and also adjoins the north-eastern edge of Luton. The end of the runway at Luton Airport was in the parish until a boundary change in 1989 transferred that area to Luton.[2]
