Bampton Classical Opera is an opera company based in Bampton, Oxfordshire and founded in 1993. It specialises in the production of lesser known opera from the Classical period. Performances are always sung in English. Opera today called the company 'ambitious, innovative and imaginative'.

It works with a variety of conductors and ensembles and does not have a permanent music director. It performs with both modern and period instrument orchestras and has often appeared with the London Mozart Players and Chroma Ensemble. It particularly aims to provide performances for young singers.

Bampton Classical Opera was founded in 1993 by its current artistic directors, Gilly French and Jeremy Gray. Following a staging of Mozart’s rare unfinished opera L’oca del Cairo (The Cairo Goose) in 1994, the company specialised increasingly in rare works of the classical period, usually from the second half of the eighteenth-century.

The company's staged opera productions are performed in a garden setting in Bampton and at Westonbirt House, the premises of Westonbirt School, as well as at St John's, Smith Square, London.

From time to time it tours to other UK venues and festivals, which have included the Wigmore Hall and the Purcell Room in London, the Buxton Festival, the Cheltenham Music Festival and others. In addition, occasional concerts are performed including an annual one in St Mary’s Church, Bampton usually on 21 December, with other concerts in Oxford and London.^{[citation needed]}
