Over Norton is a small village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sitting just outside the market town of Chipping Norton. Set on the northern fringe of the Cotswolds, the parish mixes rolling limestone hills, parkland and working farmland and retains the compact feel and traditional stone buildings typical of the area.

Historically agricultural, Over Norton still has farmsteads and cottages at its heart and a lively local community centred on a village hall and parish council; many residents commute to nearby towns while small businesses, equestrian activities and rural tourism support the local economy. Its proximity to Chipping Norton gives easy access to markets, shops and cultural venues, and quiet footpaths and countryside make it popular with walkers and visitors.
