Cropwell Butler is a village in the borough of Rushcliffe in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom, one mile to the east of the A46 in the NG12 postcode. The next village to the south is Cropwell Bishop.

This small village has one pub called The Plough Inn on Main Street, which along with the Village Hall and Sheldon Field are the only public facilities in this small and quiet village. The post office closed some years ago, and a selection of small independent shops including a butcher were transformed into a housing development called Carpenters Close in the late 1970s / early 1980s. There are no schools or Churches in the village, there is however a Methodist chapel.

The Sheldon Field plays host to a number of high profile football matches in the East Midlands Public Authorities Amateur League (EMPAL). Both Butler-Benfica FC (Cropwell Butler) and Chequers Rangers United (Cropwell Bishop) play at the Sheldon Field on Sunday mornings.

Part of the Upper Saxondale residential area also falls within the Cropwell Bishop parish boundary.

A post windmill at Cropwell Butler (grid reference SK692368) was blown down in 1837. The miller escaped, but with severe bruising, by hiding in a hollow place under a beam[1].
