Plungar is a village in the Melton district of Leicestershire, England. It is situated approximately 9 miles (14 km) north from the market town of Melton Mowbray, 7 miles (11 km) west from Grantham, and in the Vale of Belvoir. The village forms part of the civil parish of Redmile, and sits adjacent to the Grantham Canal.
In 1936 the adjoining civil parishes of Barkestone and Redmile were merged with Plungar to form the parish of Redmile. The parish, sometimes known as 'Barkestone, Plungar and Redmile', had a population of 829 in 2001.
To the east of Plungar, in the neighbouring county of Nottinghamshire, is the site of the disused RAF Plungar, which was a base for No. 38 and No. 90 squadrons. A plaque at Plungar is dedicated to the crew of six of a Lancaster bomber which crashed near Plungar in 1943. An obelisk memorial to the dead of the First and Second World Wars is on Harby Road, Plungar.
The parish church of St Helen dates from the 14th century with later additions in the 15th. The church was repaired in 1829, and rebuilding work in 1855–56 added a chapel and replaced the south aisle. The church was listed as Grade II* in 1968.

Plunger
by: Umphrey's McGeeGravely now we stare at indecision
Climbing stairs for sale is insufficient
Reading off the wall is too contagious
We're capable of more, is that suspicious?
Careful where you rest un-spinning
Don't be fooled by youth
And after all the stains have settled
There's nowhere you're from
Stairs are always left with limits
Won't there be a roof?
And as for all the change in schedule
Compared to hear who won
And maybe when you find it all again
(And you will)
Nothing's stopping, not ever here or there
And you rarely ever find it when you need
(You're still lookin')
