Gallowstree Common is a small village and former common in the district of South Oxfordshire, in Oxfordshire, England. It sits on the fringe of the Chiltern Hills and retains a recognisable village green and a local pub, giving it a rural, community feel while remaining within easy commuting distance of Reading and Oxford.
The name likely recalls the historic practice of displaying gallows on the common, and the settlement is characterised by mixed farmland, belts of beech woodland and quiet lanes popular with walkers and cyclists; today it is largely residential with pockets of older cottages and a strong local identity rather than any major industry.
