Woughton (/ˈwʊftən/ WUUF-tən), formerly called Woughton on the Green, is a civil parish in south central Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. The parish council uses the term Community Council.

The original civil parish took its name from the ecclesiastic parish of Woughton and the village of Woughton on the Green that it contained. In 2012, it was divided into two distinct civil parishes – this parish and another called Old Woughton (which includes the village). On 1 January 2025, after having retained the historic name over twelve years despite the loss of the eponymous village, the parish was renamed from "Woughton on the Green" to "Woughton".
