Steventon is a village and civil parish in Oxfordshire, England, about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Abingdon and a similar distance west of Didcot. It was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire. The 2011 Census recorded the parish population as 1,485.
Steventon has three public houses: the Cherry Tree controlled by Wadworth Brewery, The Fox and the North Star. The North Star retains many 19th-century features, including a serving-hatch instead of a bar, and ale being poured directly from casks instead of drawn by hand pumps from a cellar.
Steventon has a bakery, a Co-Operative store and a village hall.
Steventon has a Sports and Social Club and the village green has a cricket pitch. The Fox, the North Star and the Sports and Social Club all have Aunt Sally teams that play in the Abingdon and District Aunt Sally League.
The Truck Festival is an annual music festival held near Steventon each July.
Since 2013 Steventon has grown by 40%. Six new large housing developments have been built:
