Great Paxton is a village near Little Paxton in Huntingdonshire (part of Cambridgeshire), England, north of St Neots. The cruciform Saxon church dates from the 11th century. The village shares the Great Ouse valley with the river and the East Coast Railway Line.

Curiously, Great Paxton is much smaller than Little Paxton.
