Stanton St. John is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of South Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, England, sitting a short drive east of Oxford. The settlement retains a compact, historic core of stone and timber houses clustered around a medieval parish church, with the surrounding landscape given over to permanent pasture and arable fields that slope gently towards the low-lying plains around the city.
Locally the community has a quiet, village feel: many residents commute into Oxford while others work in farming or cottage enterprises, and social life tends to concentrate on the church, village hall and occasional seasonal events. Historic interest comes from the surviving older buildings and the long continuity of rural life, and the parish is commonly appreciated for its conservation character and pleasant walking country nearby.
