Saddington is a village in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. It is close to Smeeton Westerby, Gumley, Kibworth and Fleckney. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 309.
It is a small hilltop village to the south of Fleckney and overlooks the Saddington Reservoir, constructed in 1802 to feed the Grand Union Canal. The canal flows through the parish and traverses a half-mile-long tunnel. The church of St Helen largely dates from 1872–73, although it retains an original 13th century north doorway and other masonry of around 1300. All persons alive today with the surname Saddington are likely to be descendants of Henry of Saddington born 1603.
The Saddington Treacle Mine is a notable fictional local attraction, often referred to by locals of the surrounding villages.
Saddington is also home to the Manor Farm Riding School along the main street next to the church of St Helen.
