Shenington is a village about 5 miles (8 km) west of Banbury in Oxfordshire, England. It was an exclave of Gloucestershire until the Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844 transferred it to Oxfordshire in 1844. Shenington is also on Oxfordshire's boundary with Warwickshire.

Once in Oxfordshire, it was part of Banbury Rural District from 1894. In 1970 the parish merger with that of Alkerton to become Shenington with Alkerton. In 1974 the whole of Banbury Rural District became part of the district municipality named the Cherwell District.
