Linton Road as seen from Banbury Road

Linton Road is a road in North Oxford, England. At the western end is the Banbury Road. At the eastern end is Wolfson College, a graduate college of the University of Oxford. The road also adjoins Northmoor Road, Charlbury Road and Chadlington Road.

Linton Lodge Hotel is located in this road, as well as the Parklands Hotel on the corner of Banbury Road and Linton Road. The Bishop of Oxford also has a house here, near the western end. St Andrew's Church is on the corner with Northmoor Road. The road has speed humps to prevent traffic from moving too quickly.

In May 1941 during World War II, an Armstrong Whitworth Whitley bomber of the Royal Air Force crashed in Linton Road. The crew were killed and three people on the ground were injured.
