Black Bourton is a small, quiet village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set in gently rolling agricultural countryside a short distance from the market settlements of Bampton and Carterton. The landscape is typical of the area: hedgerows, meadows and dispersed farmsteads, with an assortment of stone cottages and farm buildings that give the place a distinctly rural, historic character.

Its historic heart includes a medieval parish church and a number of listed buildings, reflecting centuries of local farming and parish life. Today the local economy still has agricultural roots but the community also includes commuters working in nearby towns or in Oxford, and the parish is popular with walkers and anyone seeking a tranquil slice of Oxfordshire countryside.
