Abbey Village is a village in the English county of Lancashire. It is located on the A675 road, six miles (10 km) from Blackburn and nine miles (14 km) from Preston. The village has a number of amenities, including a sandwich shop, a pub, a post office, a restaurant, and a primary school - Abbey Village Primary School.

It also had its own railway station but that closed in 1960.

The name is believed to have arisen from a connection with Whalley Abbey, being located close to one end of a track between the abbey and Brinscall Hall[1].
