Check out abstract base classes https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/db/models/#abstract-base-classes

From the docs:

Abstract base classes

Abstract base classes are useful when you want to put some common
information into a number of other models. You write your base class
and put abstract=True in the Meta class. This model will then not be
used to create any database table. Instead, when it is used as a base
class for other models, its fields will be added to those of the child
class. It is an error to have fields in the abstract base class with
the same name as those in the child (and Django will raise an
exception).

And an example, also from the docs:

from django.db import models

class CommonInfo(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    age = models.PositiveIntegerField()

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

class Student(CommonInfo):
    home_group = models.CharField(max_length=5)
