Kettering is a town and Borough in Northamptonshire, England. Kettering's economy was built on the boot and shoe industry. With the arrival of railways in the 19th Century, other industries grew up, such as engineering and clothing. The luxury clothing manufacturers Aquascutum built their first factory here in 1909. Now it is largely based upon service and distribution industries due to its central location and excellent transport links. There is a large and growing local commuter population, which takes advantage of Kettering's position on the Midland Mainline railway.

Kettering is situated on the River Ise, a tributary of the Nene.
