​Misterton is a village and civil parish in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, England. The parish population at the 2011 census was 2,140,[1] and has risen to 2,191 residents in the 2021 census.[2]

Misterton lies in the far north-east of Bassetlaw and of Nottinghamshire, between Walkeringham to the south and Haxey in North Lincolnshire to the north. To the east of the village is the River Trent and to the west by farmland. It lies six miles (10 km) north-west of Gainsborough, on the busy A161 between Beckingham and Goole. The railway Doncaster to Lincoln Line runs north–south to the east of the village, currently with no station between Gainsborough and Doncaster. The village is the last on the A161 road going north, before Lincolnshire and the Isle of Axholme. The B1403 for Gringley-on-the-Hill meets the main road here. The A161 through to the Isle of Axholme enters less than 1 km north of crossing the River Idle at Haxey Gate Bridge next to the Haxey Gate Inn. The river meets the Trent in the parish. The Trent Valley Way and Cuckoo Way follow the Chesterfield Canal at this point, crossing the Trent at West Stockwith.

The parish boundary follows the River Idle through Misterton Soss and the railway line to the north-east, then continues along the county boundary, again by the River Idle, and follows the Gringley and Misterton Boundary Drain to the west. It crosses Fountain Hill before following Fox Covert Lane, near the primary school, to meet the Trent.

The population has risen to 2,191 as reported in the 2021 census,[2] since the 2001 census put it at 1,223.[3]
