Leighton–Linslade is a civil parish in the district of Central Bedfordshire in Bedfordshire, England. It was formed in 1965 as a merger of Leighton Buzzard and Linslade, which prior to 1965 had been administratively separate urban districts. They had also been in separate counties, with Leighton Buzzard being in Bedfordshire, but Linslade in Buckinghamshire. By 1965, the two settlements had grown into one built-up area, with Leighton Buzzard on the east side of the River Ouzel (a narrow stream at this point) and Linslade opposite it on the west side.
