Wingfield is a small village and civil parish in the county of Wiltshire, England, about 2.2 miles (3.5 km) west of the town of Trowbridge.
The parish is bordered to the east by the Trowbridge urban area and to the west by the county of Somerset, where the River Frome forms most of the boundary.
Wingfield is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086-7 as Winefel, when it was held by the Bishop of Coutances.
Edward William Grinfield (1785-1864, biblical scholar) and Thomas De Quincey (1785-1859, writer) were educated at a private school at Wingfield.
The 15th-century Church of England parish church of St Mary is Grade II* listed. It is part of the benefice of Bradford on Avon Holy Trinity, Westwood and Wingfield.
Stowford Manor, a late 15th-century farmhouse, is also Grade II* listed.
A National School was built in the village in 1852 and educated children of all ages until 1926. It became a Church of England school, which was amalgamated in 2009 with The Mead Community Primary School at Hilperton.
The village has a pub, the Poplars Inn.
