Sutton-on-Trent is a village in Nottinghamshire. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 1,327, increasing marginally to 1,331 at the 2011 census.

It is located 8 miles north of Newark-on-Trent.

Sutton Mill was a stone-built tower windmill, built in 1825. It was owned by the Bingham family of Grassthorpe from the 1860s until 1984. The four-storey tower has been converted to a house.

Dredging of the river has revealed fossilized mammoth's teeth and tusks, Roman and Anglo Saxon pottery. The town is mentioned in the Domesday Book and a Norman church was built in the 13th Century.

In May 1686 the manor and lordship of Sutton-on-Trent were sold to Richard Levett, later Lord Mayor of London, and his wife Mary.

In 1870–72, Sutton on Trent was described as:

A Board School was leased from the Church School Trustees and endowed in 1816, and Sutton Mill a stone tower windmill built in 1825, (It is now a residence) and by 1900 the area was known for its basket making. A feastival is still held on the first of November each year.
