Ewelme is a small village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England. It sits on chalk springs that feed the Ewelme Brook, a tributary of the River Thames, and lies roughly between Oxford and Wallingford, giving it a tucked‑away yet commuter‑friendly character.

The village is best known for its remarkably intact 15th‑century church and the adjoining almshouses and school associated with the Chaucer family, with fine medieval glass and tombs that attract history enthusiasts. Today Ewelme retains a rural economy and close‑knit community, popular with walkers and anyone after a quiet, historic village within easy reach of the city.
