Edlesborough is a village and civil parish in the Aylesbury Vale area of Buckinghamshire, England. Edlesborough is about west-south-west of Dunstable and immediately south of the village of Eaton Bray, just over the county boundary in Bedfordshire.
The parish dates back to Saxon times. Prior to the Norman conquest of 1066, it was held by the theign Ulf. After the conquest, it was held by Gilbert of Ghent as recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book. The Lower Icknield Way, a prehistoric track that runs below the Chiltern Escarpment, runs through the village and aligns with the church mound.
