Codrington (Barbudan Creole: Kaadringtin) is the only village on the island of Barbuda, which is part of the country of Antigua and Barbuda. Codrington coincides with the Codrington major division, one of the two major divisions on Barbuda. Situated on the Codrington Lagoon, Codrington is the country's northernmost settlement. The population of Codrington was 796 in 2011.

As the primary residential area on the island, Codrington was established in 1685 by Christopher Codrington and his brother John. Codrington is one of the oldest settlements in the country, and is now the country's twenty-third largest settlement. Codrington is on the larger end of villages in the country, and due to its position as the only settlement on Barbuda, is home to many specialized facilities, such as seven churches, a post office, a police station, a daycare, a preschool, a primary school, and a secondary school.
