Fox Crossing is a village in Winnebago County, Wisconsin, United States. It was incorporated from the land and population of the former Town of Menasha.^[1][2] The village became incorporated on April 20, 2016 after Wisconsin state officials approved it. The village as originally formed consisted of the land formerly belonging to the town of Menasha west of Little Lake Butte des Morts.^[3][4] The village's residents approved a referendum to incorporate.

On August 17, 2016, an agreement was reached between the Village of Fox Crossing and the remaining Town of Menasha to annex all remaining Town of Menasha lands to Fox Crossing. This agreement would effectively end the existence of the Town of Menasha, on a timeline "on or as soon after the (agreement) as practical".^[5] This came to pass on September 22, 2016, when the remaining parts of the town of Menasha became part of the village of Fox Crossing.^[6]
