Wardington is a village and civil parish in Oxfordshire, about 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Banbury.

The village is on a stream that rises in Upper Wardington and flows north to join the River Cherwell.

[3] The Domesday Book of 1086 records Wardington as part of the Cropredy manor of Remigius de Fécamp, Bishop of Lincoln.

[9] St Mary Magdalene parish is now part of the Benefice of Shires' Edge along with those of Claydon, Cropredy, Great Bourton and Mollington.

In 1895 a larger chapel was built in a Gothic Revival style[12] next to the old one, which was sold to the owner of the manor house.

In 1900 the Great Central Railway's branch line between Culworth and Banbury was built through the southern edge of Wardington parish.

Wardington Memorial Hall was built in 1920 as a monument to members of the village who were killed serving in the First World War.

[4] Wardington has only one public house, The Hare and Hounds, controlled by Hook Norton Brewery.
