Bainton Road is a residential road in north Oxford, England. The road runs south–north and then west–east, skirting around the west and north sides of the St John's College playing field. At the eastern end is a junction with Woodstock Road (A4144), a major arterial road out of Oxford to the north. At the southern end is a junction with Frenchay Road. The road continues south as Hayfield Road. To the west is the Oxford Canal. N. W. Harrison, surveyor to the North Oxford building estate, laid out the road around the west and north side of the cricket ground of St John's College.〔 The houses in Bainton Road were first leased between 1906 and 1931.
