Eastington is a hamlet in Gloucestershire, about a mile and a half south-east of Northleach (near Cirencester) with which it shares a civil parish (known as "Northleach with Eastington"). It is by the upper course of the River Leach, which flows down from Northleach to here (and later reaches the Thames).

The manor of Eastington (or "Northleach Foreign") was held by St Peter's Abbey, Gloucester until the Reformation, then passed to the crown and subsequently the Dutton family.

Eastington Manor is a 15th-century hall house with later additions.
