Preston Bissett is a village and also a civil parish within Aylesbury Vale district in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located about four miles SSW of Buckingham, six miles north east of Bicester in Oxfordshire.

The village name 'Preston' is common in England; it is Anglo Saxon, meaning 'priest's farm'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 this village was recorded as "Prestone". The affix 'Bissett' came later and refers to the lords of the manor, distinguishing it from other places called Preston.

The village now has a public house open to all.
