Upton is a hamlet]] in the midst of Buckinghamshire, standing to the north-east of Dinton and south-west of Stone, and three miles west of [[Aylesbury]. It is at the junction between the new road from Aylesbury to Thame road, and the old road before it was rerouted.

The hamlet name is a commonplace one, and means 'higher farm', referring in this case to the hamlet's location at the top of an adjacent hill to Dinton.
