Bramcote is a former civil parish in the Broxtowe District of Nottinghamshire, about five miles west of Nottingham. It was a separate village but is now a suburb of Greater Nottingham.

Originally one of the main roads between the cities of Nottingham and Derby (about 15 miles apart) passed through the village centre. Nowadays the main Nottingham – Derby road (the A52) passes a little to the north of the village centre, partially cutting the centre from the Bramcote Hills part of the village.

Nearby places are Beeston, Wollaton, Chilwell and Stapleford. Until 1974 it was part of Beeston and Stapleford Urban District, having been in Stapleford Rural District from 1894 until 1935.
