Marsh Baldon is a small rural village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, about five miles south‑east of Oxford in Oxfordshire, England. Set among arable fields and meadows, it forms one of the pair known locally as the Baldons with neighbouring Toot Baldon, and retains a quiet village character of stone cottages, a historic parish church and a modest village hall.
The name reflects a "bald hill" with a marshy low‑lying element nearby; historically agriculture dominated the local economy and that rural legacy remains, although many residents now commute into Oxford. The parish is popular with walkers and people seeking countryside close to the city, and local life is centred on community events and efforts to conserve its historic buildings and landscape.
