The Honour of Huntingdon or the Honour of Northampton is the name given to a series of estates from the eleventh to the fourteenth centuries held collectively by the earl of Northampton and earl of Huntingdon as a vassal of the king of England. It consisted of manors and holdings across eight adjoining counties of Northamptonshire, Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire, Buckinghamshire, Rutlandshire, and well as the manor of Tottenham in Middlesex.

The honour originated in the East Midland holdings of the Anglo-Danish earl [[Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria |Waltheof]] (d. 1076), son of Siward of Northumbriad (d. 1055), who initially survived the Norman Conquest but was executed in 1076 after participating in an Anglo-Norman aristocratic rebellion against William the Conqueror. It was partitioned by King Henry III after the death of Earl John le Scot in 1237, its holdings being divided among co-heiresses.
