Frilford is a hamlet and civil parish about 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Abingdon, at the junction of the A415 and A338 roads. It lies in the traditional county of Berkshire, however since 1974 has been administered as part of Oxfordshire.

The parish of Frilford has two significant archaeological sites: a Roman villa, and a cemetery on Frilford Heath that appears to include both Roman and Saxon burials. A further complex of remains, including a Roman shrine and amphitheatre, is often referred to as being in Frilford but lies to the south of the village, just inside the boundary of Marcham parish.

Frilford is part of the Church of England parish of Marcham. It has no Church of England parish church of its own, but a Congregational chapel was built at Frilford in 1841.

Frilford Heath Golf Club is to the east of the village.

Abingdon Preparatory School at Frilford, formerly Joscas, is a preparatory school.

Notable people from Frilford include:

Dr. Gary Botting, born at Oakley House Maternity Hospital on 19 July 1943, became a noted Canadian extradition lawyer.
