Moreton Pinkney is a village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, about 7.5 miles (12 km) north of Brackley. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 371.^[1]

The villages name means 'Moor farm/settlement'. It was held by the family of Pinchengi from 1199. In the 13th century, it was known as Geldenmortone, from Old English 'gylden' meaning, 'golden', probably because of its especial wealth.^[2]
