'''Bonnington''' is a dispersed village and [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]] on the northern edge of the [[Romney Marsh]] in [[Ashford (borough)|Ashford]] District of [[Kent]], England.  The village is located {{convert|8|mi|spell=in|0}} to the south of the town of [[Ashford, Kent|Ashford]] on the B2067 ([[Hamstreet]] to [[Hythe, Kent|Hythe]] road).

Bonnington has under 100 inhabitants and has historic connections with [[smuggling]]. The parish used to boast its own school at the T-junction with the former B2069, and a [[public house]] (The Oak) located nearly two miles southeast of the village. The parish church, dedicated to [[Rumwold of Buckingham|St Rumwold]], the child saint,<ref>[http://www.romneydeanery.org.uk/Bonnington.shtml Romney Deanery] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070727142829/http://www.romneydeanery.org.uk/Bonnington.shtml |date=27 July 2007 }}</ref> is about half a mile to the south of the hamlet, on the Royal Military Canal.

The parish council is now linked with the larger village of [[Aldington, Kent|Aldington]] (where the population is now included) which is where the nearest shops can be found.
