Fyfield is a village in Fyfield and Tubney civil parish, about 4.5 miles (7 km) west of Abingdon. It was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire. The village used to be on the main A420 road between Oxford and Faringdon, but a bypass now carries the main road just south of the village.

The White Hart public house in the village was formerly a chantry house, built in the 15th century by the executors of Sir John Golafre (died 1442). It has been owned by St John's College, Oxford since 1580.[2]
