Whitchurch-on-Thames is a small riverside village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sitting on the north bank of the River Thames opposite Pangbourne. The parish is prized for its scenic towpath, moorings and relatively unspoilt stretch of river, with surrounding gently undulating farmland and pockets of mature woodland that give it a distinctly rural character despite being close to larger towns.
Historically agricultural, the village now mixes traditional cottages and farmsteads with residents who commute to Reading or Oxford, and it attracts people interested in boating, walking and conservation. There is a small but active community life centred on local events and the riverside: the setting, intact village feel and easy river access make it popular for weekend visitors as well as long-term locals.
