Rainworth is a village in the Newark and Sherwood district of Nottinghamshire, England. It was created in the early 1890s when Rufford Colliery opened. It is one mile north of Blidworth and the western section of the village is in the Mansfield district. The A617 dual-carriageway bypasses the village. The roundabout at the western terminus was the starting point for the Mansfield and Ashfield Regeneration Route. The former route through the village is the B6020.
Rufford Colliery closed in 1992. Joseph Whitaker School, on Warsop Lane, next to Rainworth Leisure Centre and the Archer pub, opened in 1962. Other pubs are the Lurcher on Westbrook Drive and Sherwood Inn on Kirklington Road, and Robin Hood Inn on Southwell Road East near the Co-op.
