Hampton Gay and Poyle is a small civil parish in the district of Cherwell, county of Oxfordshire, England, situated roughly between Oxford and Bicester. It is largely rural, made up of a handful of houses, farms and meadows, with many residents commuting into nearby towns while enjoying a quiet village lifestyle.

The parish is notable for its riverside landscape beside the River Cherwell and for the visible earthworks and moated manor site that mark the remains of a once larger medieval settlement at Hampton Gay; Poyle is a smaller neighbouring hamlet. Local life centres on agriculture, conservation and small community events, and the area attracts interest from walkers, local historians and anyone keen on quiet Oxfordshire countryside with easy access to the city.
