Hungarton (or Hungerton) is a small village in the county of Leicestershire, England. It is about 10 miles (16.1 km) north-east of Leicester and 13 miles (21 km) south-west of Melton Mowbray. The village is mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book as Hungretone.
The layout of the village of Hungarton follows that of the model village built between 1764 and 1776 by Shuckbrugh Ashby the then owner of nearby Quenby Hall. There are a few cottages that pre-date these houses and many houses have been built since.
The village has a church, a village hall, a small stream and a Millennium Green. It also has a pub called "The Black Boy". Stilton cheese was first produced in a dairy in the grounds of Quenby Hall.
The Anglican Church of St John the Baptist is part of a group benefice with Keyham, Billesdon, Goadby and Skeffington. A service is held there twice a month.
