Folksworth is a small village just off the A1(M), near Peterborough, England. For years it remained relatively isolated, with only a village hall, a church (St Helens) and a pub (The Fox). However, in recent years it has expanded with two new housing developments. Folksworth has a new cricket wicket installed and has four goal posts on the playing ground; there are plans to get more in the field. It currently has two homosexual partners residing in the village.

It is part of the civil parish of Folksworth and Washingley, this is in the district (former county) of Huntingdonshire.
