Olney (, rarely , OW-nee, rarely OLL-nee; the "L" is not pronounced by local people), is a market town and civil parish in the unitary authority area of the City of Milton Keynes, England. The parish occupies the northernmost part of the historic county of Buckinghamshire. Lying on the left bank of the River Great Ouse, the town is located (straight line distances) around 8 miles (13 km) from Milton Keynes, 10 miles (16 km) from Bedford, Northampton and Wellingborough, and just over 50 miles (80km) from London. At the 2021 census, it had a population of 6,598. Olney is best known for poet William Cowper, anti-slavery preacher John Newton, and their 1770's collaboration on the Olney Hymns, including Amazing Grace, as well as for its Pancake Race. The many places in the USA, and elsewhere, also called Olney, appear to be named either directly after Olney in England, or after a family whose surname originates from the Buckinghamshire town.
