Brockhall is a civil parish and village in West Northamptonshire in England. Brockhall, like many estate villages, is a small settlement that has developed around its eponymous hall. The village - Brocole in Old English - was recorded in the Domesday Book. Brocole means "Badger hole". The name is derived from "broc" ("badger" in Old English) and "hol" ("hollow" in Old English). The population is included in the civil parish of Norton.
The parish church, St Peter & St Paul, is part of the Benefice of Heyford with Stowe IX Churches and Flore with Brockhall.
