Alwalton in the Peterborough unitary authority, England, is a village five miles (8 km) to the west of Peterborough.

The village lies north west of Yaxley, overlooking the southern bank of the River Nene and close to the line of Ermine Street or the A1 road. Alwalton is a conservation area with a number of listed buildings, the most important of which are the Norman Church of St Andrew's and the Elizabethan Manor House.

The East of England showground lies to the south. The 240-acre (0.97 km2) site is used each June for the East of England Show and at other times for commercial exhibitions.
