Brightwell Baldwin is a village and civil parish in Oxfordshire, about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) northeast of Wallingford.

The Church of England parish church of Saint Bartholomew was built in the 14th century in the Decorated style. The chancel includes the remains of a 13th century lancet window, a remnant of an earlier church building on the site. The Perpendicular style east window and west tower were added in the 15th century.^[1] The bell tower has a peal of six bells. The tenor bell was cast in the 15th century, another bell was cast in 1637 and the remaining four were added in 1911.^[2]

The Lord Nelson public house dates from the 17th or 18th century.^[3] It is now a gastropub.^[4]

Brightwell Park was an country house built in about 1790. It has been demolished, but its kitchen wing, stables and cruciform 17th century dovecote survive.^[5]
