Longworth Hospital was a 50 bedded geriatric hospital in Faringdon Oxfordshire, England.

It was administered by the Littlemore and Isis hospital management committees, and then from 1974 by Oxfordshire Area Health Authority.[1]

From December 1980 to February 1981 it was occupied by the staff, principally members of COHSE resisting the closure of the hospital.[2]
