An Oxonian is a member (or former member) of the University of Oxford, England. The term is derived from Oxonia, the Latin form of Oxenford or Oxford. The term can also refer to an inhabitant of the city of Oxford, but is less used in this context.[1]

The matching word for Cambridge (the city) and the University of Cambridge is Cantabrigian.
