Wheatfield is a small, largely rural parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, tucked into the rolling countryside on the fringes of the Chiltern foothills. The landscape is dominated by arable fields, woodland and hedgerows, giving a quiet, pastoral character and easy access to longer footpaths and country lanes that link it to nearby towns and the River Thames corridor.
Historically an agricultural community, Wheatfield retains a number of older farmhouses and traditional buildings and has a low population with limited services; many residents commute to larger centres such as Oxford and Didcot. The parish is noted locally for its sense of rural community, conservation-minded land management and the occasional village gathering or farming event rather than any large commercial or tourist footprint.
