The Oxfordshire Ironstone Railway was a standard gauge mineral railway that served an ironstone quarry near the village of Wroxton. It linked the quarry with the Great Western Railway about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) to the east at a junction just north of Banbury. The line was opened between 1917 and 1919, and closed in 1967 and the line was 'lifted' between 1967 and 1968.
