Sutton Veny is a village and civil parish situated in the Wylye Valley, about 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of the town of Warminster in Wiltshire, England. 'Sutton' means 'south farmstead' in relation to Norton Bavant, one mile (1.6 km) to the north. 'Veny' may be a French family name or may describe the village's fenny situation.
The parish includes part of the village of Tytherington. In 1885 when the small parish of Pertwood was extinguished, its northern section was transferred to Sutton Veney.
The civil parish elects a parish council. It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions.
The village is represented in parliament by Andrew Murrison and in Wiltshire Council by Fleur de Rhé-Philipe, both Conservatives.
Sutton Veny and the small settlements around it are served by Sutton Veny C of E Primary School. The school was built in 1872, to a design by J. L. Pearson, and catered for all ages until 1931, when children over eleven were transferred to Warminster.
The village hall is next to the school. The village has a pub, the Woolpack.
The home ground of the Heytesbury and Sutton Veny Cricket Club is in Sutton Veny.
The Old Manor House, built in the 14th century and later used as a rectory, is Grade II* listed.
