Rugby is a market town in the county of Warwickshire in central England on the River Avon. Rugby has a population of 62,790 (2002 estimate). The larger borough of Rugby has a population of 90,200.

Rugby is located about 15 miles (24 km) east of Coventry, on the eastern edge of Warwickshire, near the borders with Northamptonshire and Leicestershire.

Rugby is most famous for the invention of Rugby football, which is played throughout the world. The game was invented by William Webb Ellis in 1823 at Rugby School, which is in the centre of Rugby.

Rugby School is one of England's oldest and most prestigious public schools, and was the setting of Thomas Hughes's semi-autobiographical masterpiece Tom Brown's Schooldays. A substantial part of the 2004 dramatisation of the novel, starring Stephen Fry, was filmed on location at Rugby School.

Rugby is also a birthplace of the jet engine. In April 1937 Sir Frank Whittle built the world's first prototype jet engine at the British Thomson-Houston works in Rugby, and between 1936-41 based himself at Brownsover Hall (now a beautiful hotel) on the outskirts of the town, where he designed and developed early prototype engines. Much of his work was also carried out at nearby Lutterworth. Holography was also invented in Rugby by the Hungarian inventor Dennis Gabor in 1947.

In the 19th century, Rugby became famous for its once hugely important railway junction which was the setting for Charles Dickens's story Mugby Junction.

Famous or notable people born in Rugby include the poet Rupert Brooke, writer Rose Macaulay, the scientist Norman Lockyer who discovered helium, and Olympic bronze medalist Katharine Merry. Also, many famous names attended Rugby School, including Neville Chamberlain, Lewis Carroll, Matthew Arnold and Salman Rushdie. The internationally known bands Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized also came from Rugby.
