Tansor is a village in Northamptonshire, close by the River Nene, three miles north-east of the Oundle and a mile from its neighbouring village, Cotterstock.

The parish church, St Mary the Virgin, is Grade II* listed.

The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 172.

The village's name origin is dubious. 'Tan's ridge' or maybe, 'Tan's river bank'.[1]

Society

There is a village hall in Tansor, from which a playgroup operates.
