Guthlaxton is an ancient hundred of Leicestershire. Its jurisdiction was in the south of the county, and covered Lutterworth and Wigston Magna and parts of Leicester which were outside the governance of the Borough. At the time of the Domesday Book (1086), it was one of Leicestershire's four wapentakes, and covered a much larger area, including Market Bosworth and Hinckley, which would later be made part of the Sparkenhoe Hundred.

The original meeting place of the hundred was at the Guthlaxton stone. The Sparkenhoe Hundred was split from Guthlaxton in 1346.

In the late 19th century the administrative aspects of most hundreds were given to other specialized governmental divisions, e.g., urban and rural district councils, municipal and county boroughs.
