North Luffenham is a village in Rutland, in the East Midlands of England.

Located to the north of the village is the former RAF station of RAF North Luffenham which is now St George's Barracks.

Archdeacon Robert Johnson (1540–1625) was Rector of North Luffenham for 51 years, from 1574 until his death; he founded Oakham and Uppingham Schools in 1584, as well as other charitable institutions including almshouses.

The churchyard contains 31 graves maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. These include 11 Canadian servicemen who died while North Luffenham was a RCAF base in the 1950s;

St Mary & St John's Primary School is a Voluntary Aided Church of England school. It is built on the site of North Luffenham Hall and the southern boundary is a ha-ha.

There are two pubs in the village; The Fox & Hounds and The Horse & Panniers (popularly known as The Nag & Bag).
