Appleford-on-Thames is a village and civil parish on the south bank of the River Thames about north of Didcot, in the Vale of White Horse district, in Oxfordshire. It was part of Berkshire until the 1974 local government boundary changes. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 350. On 1 April 2000 the civil parish was renamed from "Appleford" to "Appleford on Thames".
== Etymology == Appleford-on-Thames was known as Apleford as early as the 14th century, and was spelt indifferently with one 'p' and two as late as the 18th century. The name derives from the ford across the Thames, by which the fruit grown about Hagbourne and Harwell was taken to Oxfordshire markets. The ford existed as late as the 19th century.
