Shirburn is a small, predominantly rural parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, lying on the edge of the Chiltern Hills. The settlement is dominated by the moated Shirburn Castle and its surrounding parkland, giving the area a strong historic character amid farmland, hedgerows and quiet country lanes popular with walkers.
The local economy remains largely agricultural and estate‑centred, with many residents commuting to nearby market towns such as Watlington and Thame. Despite its small population, the parish attracts interest for its historic architecture and landscape, and for occasional public attention around the castle and its collections.
