Codrington is a hamlet in Gloucestershire, found near Junction 18 of the M4 motorway south of Wapley and Yate.

The hamlet stands by the B4465 road and in the Parish of 'Wapley-cum-Codrington' in the Grumbald's Ash Hundred.

Codrington has one pub, at the edge of the village; the Wishing Well, which was formerly the Codrington Arms. The pub was linked to the Codrington Family, who used to be based at Codrington Court before moving to nearby Dodington Park.

The area also has a Baptist church in Wapley Road.
