Steeple Barton is a small, mainly rural parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, made up of a cluster of hamlets and farmsteads set in gently rolling countryside. The name reflects the prominent church steeple that marks the village skyline; traditional limestone cottages, farm buildings and a network of public footpaths give the area a distinctly historic, agricultural character.
Historically centred on farming, the parish now combines working farms with a number of residents who commute to nearby towns, while retaining a strong village community spirit through local events and clubs. Conservation of the built heritage and surrounding landscape is important locally, and walkers value the quiet lanes and rural views that typify this corner of the county.
