'''Colnbrook''' is a village in the [[Borough of Slough|Slough]] district in [[Berkshire]], England. It lies within the [[historic counties of England|historic boundaries]] of [[Buckinghamshire]], and straddles two [[distributaries]] of the [[River Colne, Hertfordshire|Colne]], the [[Colne Brook]] and [[Wraysbury River]]. These two streams have their confluence just to the southeast of the village. Colnbrook is centred {{convert|3|mi|km}} southeast of the [[Slough]] town centre, {{convert|4|mi|km}} east of [[Windsor, Berkshire|Windsor]], and {{convert|19|mi|km}} west of central London.

Colnbrook forms the greater part of the [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]] of [[Colnbrook with Poyle]] (see also [[Poyle]]). Junctions of the [[M4 motorway|M4]] and [[M25 motorway|M25]] are near the village.  To the east is [[Longford, London|Longford]], London, and [[Bedfont]] and [[Stanwell]] which abut the south of London [[Heathrow Airport]].

Colnbrook with Poyle is a suburban parish with significant industrial units, logistical premises and open land.  The parish was created on 1 April 1995 as an amalgamation of Colnbrook from [[Iver]] to the north and the smaller Poyle from an unparished area of [[Stanwell]] to the south-east. At the 2011 census the whole civil parish had a population of 6,157 living in 2,533 homes.<ref name=ons>{{Cite web |url=http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/ |title=2011 Census |access-date=17 August 2013 |archive-date=11 February 2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030211201309/http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
