Carfax Conduit is a sixteenth-century water supply structure located in the parish of Nuneham Courtenay in Oxfordshire. Built during the reign of Elizabeth I, it originally served to distribute water from a spring source to the town of Oxford, functioning as part of an early modern infrastructure project to improve the water supply of the city. The conduit is constructed of ashlar stone and represents a type of public utility building characteristic of Tudor-period urban improvements. Though substantially altered and relocated from its original position in Oxford's Carfax area, it remains an important example of Renaissance hydraulic engineering and civic provision in sixteenth-century England.
