Woughton (/ˈwʊftən/ WUUF-tən) is a civil parish in south central Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England.[2] The parish council uses the term Community Council.[2]

The parish takes its name from the original ecclesiastic parish of Woughton and the village of Woughton on the Green. It was reduced in size in 2012 when an area in the east of the parish, including the village of Woughton on the Green, became the separate parish of Old Woughton. Despite the de facto local use of the unqualified name "Woughton", the legal name of the parish is still Woughton-on-the-Green.
