Dorchester-on-Thames is a village on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, England. In the 7th century it became the seat of the Bishopric of Dorchester , after the Bishop of Leicester had fled from Leicester. It was an extremely large Bishopric, and covered most of Wessex and Mercia.

The main tourist attraction in Dorchester is the abbey, a surprisingly large church for the size of village. Nearby is Day's Lock, where the annual World Poohsticks Championships take place.
