Long Wittenham is a small, attractive village in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set on a gravel terrace above the River Thames. It is dominated by the iconic wooded summits of the Wittenham Clumps, part of an Earth Trust nature and farmland area that gives sweeping views over the Thames valley and out towards the Chilterns.

The village has a long human story with ancient earthworks and archaeological interest on the nearby hills, and today retains a predominantly rural, agricultural character while also serving as a quiet commuter base for nearby Didcot, Oxford and the Harwell campus. Community life is lively for a settlement of its size, popular with walkers on the Thames Path and visitors drawn to the landscape and local events.
