Batsford is a village and civil parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. The village is about 1½ miles north-west of Moreton-in-Marsh. There is a falconry centre close to the village and Batsford Arboretum is nearby, situated on the Cotswold escarpment.

Moreton-in-Marsh and Batsford War Memorial, on the High Street in Moreton-in-Marsh, commemorates the village's dead of two World Wars.

Batsford was in Campden Rural District from 1894 until 1935 when the rural district was broken up and the majority of it (including Batsford) was transferred to the newly-formed and larger North Cotswold Rural District.
