Banbury Hardwick is an electoral ward in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England, forming part of the town of Banbury. Its name comes from Old English meaning a 'herd farm', a hint of the agricultural origins that preceded suburban growth in the 20th century.
The ward comprises mostly residential streets with pockets of green space and community facilities, and is within easy reach of the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal. Good transport links to the surrounding region - including nearby rail services and the M40 - mean many residents commute for work, while locally the economy links into Banbury's light industry, distribution and service sectors; socially it reflects a mix of long‑standing families and newer commuter households.
