Scraptoft is a village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. It has a population of 1,804 as measured at the 2011 census. It lies north of the A47 road east of Leicester, and runs directly into the built up area of Thurnby and Bushby to the south.
==Rail transport== The Thurnby and Scraptoft railway station (which connected to the Great Northern Railway) closed to passenger traffic in the mid-1950s. Seaside excursions and freight continued to use the line until around 1964, and in the early part of 1965 the track was lifted and the bridge across the road on Station Road was demolished.
