Botolph Claydon is a hamlet in the civil parish of East Claydon (where the 2011 Census population is included), in Buckinghamshire, England.[1][2] It is situated about 9 miles east of Bicester in Oxfordshire, and 7 miles north west of Aylesbury.

Anciently the hamlet was called Botyl Claydon. The prefix comes from the Anglo-Saxon word botyl meaning 'house'. The word Claydon is also Anglo Saxon, and means 'clay hill'.
