North Luffenham Hall, (sometimes Luffenham Hall), North Luffenham, Rutland, England stands on the southern edge of the village, adjacent to the Church of St John the Baptist. Originally the manor house, and then known as Luffenham Hall when the original hall was demolished in 1806, it has also been known as Digby Hall, after a family which owned it.
