Edgcott is a village in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Aylesbury Vale, about eight miles east of Bicester.
The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'oak cottage'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Achecote, "æcen" (from which we get the word 'acorn') being the Anglo Saxon word for 'oak'.
The manor of Edgcott was once owned by the physician and poet Sir Samuel Garth.
