Fulscot is a hamlet in South Moreton civil parish in South Oxfordshire, about 0.5 miles (800 m) west of the village.

Follescote is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a settlement in Berkshire with 9 households. The village was depopulated following enclosure for pasture or improved arable land between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries and the buildings deteriorated. There is now solely a modern building, situated on the site of the former manor house, where traces of a moat still survive. Fulscot otherwise now consists of a few cottages on the road from South Moreton to the neighbouring town of Didcot.

In 1974 it was transferred from Berkshire to Oxfordshire.
