Woodeaton Wood is a 14-hectare (35-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Oxford in Oxfordshire.[1][2]

This coppice with standards on calcareous soil is a fragment of the ancient Shotover Forest. The ground layer has plants such as wood anemone, nettle-leaved bellflower, ramsons, goldilocks buttercup, early dog-violet and enchanter's nightshade.[3]

The site is private land with no public access.
