Coppingford is a small village in Huntingdonshire. It is found near the village of Upton, in the delightful rural parts of the west of the county, to the northwest of the county town, Huntingdon.

The main manor house in Coppingford dates from about 1200.

The name of the village appears to mean "Merchants' ford", from the Old English Ceapmanna ford or the similar Norse word Kaupmanna, since the Danes held this county for some years.
