Stanbridge is a village in Bedfordshire which lies convert|3|mi|km|0 east of Leighton Buzzard.

RAF Stanbridge was built on land that was in the neighbouring parish of Billington, [Ordnance Survey, "Bedfordshire Sheet XXVIII SE", Provisional Edition A, 1950.] but the town of Leighton Buzzard has now expanded over much of the base.

The village has a traditional English country public house called "The Five Bells"
