Sutton-under-Brailes is a village and civil parish 17 miles (27 km) south of Warwick, in the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, England. The name "Sutton" means 'South farm/settlement', the "Brailes" part referring to being 2 miles south of Brailes. Sutton-under-Brailes was recorded in the Domesday Book as Sudtune.

The Church of St Thomas a Becket was originally built during the Medieval period. It was restored and partly rebuilt in the Imperial period. 12th century nave, but the only remaining 12th century architectural feature is the north doorway which was later reset. The Chancel was rebuilt in the 13th century; it seems to have been lengthened at the end of the century, and larger windows provided. The south tower was an addition of c1340, but the top was probably completed later in the century. A large restoration was undertaken in 1879; the west and south west walls of the nave were rebuilt and new roofs provided. The font and other furniture are modern.
