Shabbington is a village and also a civil parish within Aylesbury Vale district in Buckinghamshire, England, about 3 miles (5 km) west of Thame (in Oxfordshire), and 7 miles (10 km) WSW of Aylesbury. The village is 2,152 acres (9 km²) in size.

The village was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, when it was called "Sobintone" which is Anglo-Saxon for "Scobba's Estate". Until very recently the village was known as "Shobbington"; it was only in the Victorian era that the name was changed to its current form.

The earliest record of any manor of the village dates back to 1299, when a large property was given to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, however this was not where the Manor Court was held.

The medieval church in the village is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene; however the church records only date from 1714, making historical information about the village harder to come by.
