Maids Moreton is a village and civil parish in the Aylesbury Vale district of northern Buckinghamshire, England. The village is about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Buckingham. The village is contiguous with the Buckingham urban area and is thus often considered as a suburb.

The parish of Maids Moreton covers about 1,365 acres (552 ha) of which 376 acres (152 ha) are arable, 786 acres (318 ha) permanent grass and 26 acres (11 ha) woods and plantations. The soil is mostly clay and gravel and the subsoil gravel.

The village lies along the Buckingham to Towcester road (A413). It contains many 17th century houses and cottages of timber frames with brick or plaster filling and thatched roofs.

The 15th century Church of England parish church of Saint Edmund is said to have been built by two maiden ladies of the Pever family, whence the name "Maids' Moreton". The Maids' epitaphs are a wall painting over the north door and brasses on a slab just within the doorway.

The old Post Office at the bottom of the village closed in the mid 1990s and is now a private house. The chapel (on the A413) was demolished in the early 1980s and the allotments next to the chapel were all used for new housing.
