Kineton est un bourg du Warwickshire, en Angleterre. Situé près de Banbury, Warwick, Leamington Spa et Stratford-upon-Avon, sa population était de 2 278 en 2001.

Le village est mentionné dans le Domesday Book sous le nom de Kington. Aux environs du village, on voit encore une motte féodale, appelée King John's Castle, car on croit que le roi Jean d'Angleterre y tenait une cour de justice. Le village a d'ailleurs donné son nom à l'une des subdivisions du Warwickshire, maintenant incluse dans le district de Stratford-upon-Avon.

C'est à Kineton que le roi Charles Ier d'Angleterre rencontra la reine Henriette de France en juillet 1643.
