Melton, Administrative borough in Leicestershire, England.

The borough of Melton spans across northeastern Leicestershire, encompassing stone-built villages, rolling countryside, and the central town of Melton Mowbray.

The district was formed through the merger of Melton Mowbray Urban District and Melton and Belvoir Rural District in 1974, establishing its current administrative structure.

Melton Mowbray, the district's main town, maintains a traditional livestock market and produces regionally protected foods including pork pies and Stilton cheese.

The borough council consists of 28 elected members from 16 wards, operating under a joint administration of Labour and independent councillors with elections every four years.

Military forces utilize specialized training facilities within the borough for both horses and dogs, contributing to national defense preparation programs.
