Great Rollright is a village in the civil parish of Rollright, about 2.5 miles (4 km) north of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.

The megalithic Rollright Stones are about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of Great Rollright, near the Warwickshire village of Long Compton.

The Mediaeval Church of England parish church of Saint Andrew has Norman,Early English,Decorated Gothic and Perpendicular Gothic features. St Andrew's was restored in 1852 under the direction of the Oxford Diocesan Architect, GE Street. St Andrew's is a Grade I listed building.

The west tower has a ring of six bells. William Bagley of Chacombe, Northamptonshire cast the fourth, fifth and tenor bells in 1695 and the third bell in 1696. W&J Taylor cast the second bell in 1839, presumably at the foundry they then had at Oxford. Henry I Bond and Sons of Burford cast the treble bell in 1899.

St Andrew's parish is now part of the Benefice of Hook Norton with Great Rollright, Swerford and Wigginton.
