Steventon is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, set amid the low-lying farmland of the vale with the rolling slopes of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty visible nearby. The settlement retains a compact village core of cottages and a parish church, with lanes and arable fields defining its rural character.
It is best known historically as the birthplace and early home of Jane Austen, whose father was rector at the village church; the rectory no longer stands but the association draws literary interest. Once served by a local railway station until the mid-20th century, today Steventon remains a quiet farming and commuter community with village organisations and pubs, benefitting from road links to Didcot and Oxford.
