Upper Rissington is a village and civil parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England.

[3] It is located about two-and-a-half miles east of Bourton-on-the-Water and is one of the highest villages in the Cotswolds at an elevation of 275 m. It is a recent settlement, with much of its original housing built after 1945 as officers' quarters for the adjacent RAF Little Rissington, an active airfield.

[4] Several buildings of architectural interest, including the Station Headquarters and the Officers' Mess, have been retained and converted into housing.

[6] Once known for its social life when it housed hundreds of young trainee pilots, the new village has well established community events such as firework displays.

[8] The village is in the Stow-on-the-Wold county council electoral division and is one of the three largest population centres, along with Stow and Moreton-in-Marsh.
