Winwick is a small village, a lost settlement and civil parish in West Northamptonshire in England. The modern settlement is north of West Haddon. A 16th-century brick manor house remains on the site.[1] The population is included in the civil parish of West Haddon.

The village's name means 'specialised farm of Wina'. A few spellings show that it could maybe be 'specialised farm in a nook'. However, the name could come from the Old English 'wicincel' meaning 'small specialised farm'.[2]

The Historic England website contains details of a total of 16 listed buildings in the parish of Winwick, all of which are Grade II with the exception of the following, which are Grade II*:
