Sunningwell is a village and civil parish in Oxfordshire, England. The parish includes the village of Bayworth and the eastern part of Boars Hill. In 1974 it was transferred from Berkshire.

Sunningwell is notable for the successful campaign run by parishioners against the plans to develop green belt land surrounding the village and elsewhere in Oxfordshire.

The Flowing Well public house with beer garden is a well known destination for walkers.

Parish church

The Church of England parish church of St Leonard is largely 15th century but parts are earlier. The west porch is said to have been given by John Jewel, later Bishop of Salisbury, who was rector here in about 1551. There is a stained glass east window by J.P. Seddon, a friend of William Morris, who restored the church in 1877.^[2] The church is a Grade II* listed building.^[3]

Samuel Fell was rector here from 1625 to 1649.
