Edleston is a former civil parish, now in the parishes of Burland and Acton and Nantwich, in the unitary authority area of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England, which lies immediately to the south west of Nantwich. For administrative purposes, it was combined with adjacent civil parishes of Acton and Henhull to form a total area of 765 hectares (1890 acres). The parish was predominantly rural with scattered farms and houses, with the exception of a new housing estate at the eastern end of the parish east of the canal. Nearby villages include Acton and Ravensmoor.

According to the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 53. Since then new building in the parish has increased the population, with over 300 new houses in the east of the parish bringing the population to well over 500. Malbank Waters is a two-phase development of nearly 400 houses in the east of Edleston as an extension to the town of Nantwich. The first phase was completed in January 2019.
