Bletchley is a constituent town of Milton Keynes, a city in Buckinghamshire, England. It gives its name to a larger census "built-up area" that occupies the south-west of the city and which is divided by the West Coast Main Line railway between the civil parishes of Bletchley & Fenny Stratford and West Bletchley, together with a fragment of Stoke Hammond CP. At the 2021 census, the population of this wider area was 45,010.
Bletchley and Fenny Stratford CP, which includes its commercial centre, consists of two towns with one town council. West Bletchley, which includes its pre-railways village centre, has a parish council. The latter is best known for Bletchley Park, the headquarters of Britain's World War II codebreaking organisation and now a major tourist attraction; the National Museum of Computing is also located in the park.
