Cathiron is a small rural hamlet in Warwickshire, England, within the civil parish of Harborough Magna, consisting of around six dwellings on Cathiron Lane, a minor country lane between Harborough Magna and Brinklow. It is 3 miles (4.8 km) northwest of the town of Rugby.[1]

The West Coast Main Line railway line passes through the settlement, but there is no station. The place is a popular location for railway enthusiasts because of the good views and the diverse traction passing through.[2]

The Oxford Canal also passes through. At the western end of the settlement is Brinklow Marina, which is situated on a disused arm of the canal.[3]
