Bourton is a hamlet in the parish of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire, England.

The hamlet name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'fortified enclosure'.

Bourton was once the location of a great house that belonged to the Minshull family. In the English Civil War the house was plundered by Parliamentarian forces and goods to the value of £2,000 (a massive fortune in the day) were stolen. The house has long since disappeared.
