Weston Underwood is a village and civil parish[1] in the unitary authority area of the City of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. It is located about a mile west of Olney.
The village name 'Weston' is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'western estate',[2] possibly referring to the situation of the village in relation to Olney. The affix 'Underwood' refers to the village's location to a nearby forest, probably the Yardley Chase and Whittlewood Forest.
A notable resident of the village for many years was William Cowper.
