Wavendon is a village and civil parish in the south east of the Milton Keynes urban area, in Buckinghamshire, England.

==History and geography== The village name is an Old English language word, and means 'Wafa's hill'. In the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 969 the village was recorded as Wafandun. The ancient village lies just outside the 1967 designated area of Milton Keynes. The ecclesiastic parish of Wavendon anciently contained the hamlet of Woburn Sands (originally known as 'Hogsty End, Wavendon'), which became a separate civil parish in 1907. The parishes are separated by the Marston Vale line.
