Highmoor is a village in the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire, about four miles west of Henley-on-Thames. The parish includes the hamlet of Satwell.
The parish church, St Paul, at Highmoor Cross was designed by the architect Joseph Morris of Reading and built by Robert Owthwaite of Henley-on-Thames in 1859 as a chapel of ease by the vicar of Rotherfield Peppard to cater for the wider rural population of the parish. Highmoor later became a separate parish but the church was closed by a pastoral order in June 2012 as a result of a dwindling congregation, and was sold.
Highmoor has one pub: the Rising Sun at Witheridge Hill. Another, the Dog and Duck near Highmoor Cross, closed in December 2011.
