The Begbroke Science Park is a science park located five miles north of Oxford, England. It is owned and managed by Oxford University. It lies within the parish of Begbroke, although it is only accessible from the village of Yarnton on the A44.

The site has been the home of research facilities since 1960, when the Weed Research Organisation was established there. It was later used as the Technology Centre of the Cookson Group. The site was bought by Oxford University in 1998.

The park includes a number of research institutes, with close links with the Department of Materials and other departments of Oxford University, and several spin-out companies, including Oxonica. The Begbroke Centre for Innovation and Enterprise is also located in the park.
