Heyford Park is a civil parish in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England. It was created in 2019 from portions of the parishes of Ardley, Somerton and Upper Heyford. The proposal to create the new parish was made by Upper Heyford Parish Council in January 2017. [3] The parish council initially had seven seats, and nominations for candidates to fill these were opened in March 2019, the election to be held on 2 May 2019. [4] The parish includes most of the former RAF Upper Heyford airfield and Heyford Park School. It is bordered by the civil parishes of Somerton, Ardley, Middleton Stoney, Lower Heyford and Upper Heyford, all being in the Cherwell district.

Until the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the parish lay entirely within the Banbury constituency. Following that election, the parish will be represented by two Members of Parliament: the portion ceded from Somerton remains within the Banbury constituency, but the bulk of the parish now lies within the new Bicester and Woodstock constituency.
