Leighton Buzzard is a town in Bedfordshire, England near the Chiltern Hills and lying between Luton and Milton Keynes. It adjoins Linslade and the name Leighton Buzzard is sometimes used to refer to the combination of the two towns; parts of this article also apply to Linslade as well as Leedon. The town's name Leighton Buzzard, could derive from  "Leighton" is an Old English language term, meaning a 'clearing in the woods'. The "Buzzard" was added by the Dean of Lincoln, in whose diocese the town lay in the 12th century.

At that time it was a Theobald de Busar Leighton Buzzard is also famous as the Grand Union Canal was opened there. In the Domesday Book, Leighton Buzzard and Linslade were both called Leestone.
