Moreton-in-Marsh (populace 3,493) is a tiny market town in the Evenlode Valley, within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Gloucestershire, England. The community stands at the crossroads of the Fosse Way Roman road (now the A429) and also the A44. It is offered by Moreton-in-Marsh railway station on the Cotswold Line.

The River Evenlode climbs near Batsford, runs around the side of Moreton and meanders in the direction of Oxford, where it flows into the Thames simply eastern of Eynsham. Simply over 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometres) eastern of Moreton, the Four county rock noted the boundary of the historic regions of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire as well as Oxfordshire, until the re-organisation of the area boundaries in 1931. Since then it notes the gathering place of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire as well as Oxfordshire.
