Chipping Norton Borough Police was the police force responsible for policing the borough of Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire, England until 1856.[1]

It had been established in 1836 as a result of the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835. The police force was very small throughout its 20-year history with only one constable in post in 1844.[2] Chipping Norton Borough Police was amalgamated into the newly formed Oxfordshire Constabulary as a result of the County and Borough Police Act 1856.

Chipping Norton is today policed by the successor to Oxfordshire Constabulary, Thames Valley Police.
