Lewknor Uphill CP/ExP was a Civil Parish in the counties of Buckinghamshire (Ancient) and Oxfordshire (Ancient), in England. It was abolished in 1885. It was also known as Lewknor Up Hill. It was part of Wycombe PLU/RegD (from 1866); Desborough Hundred; Lewknor Hundred; Wycombe RSD; and Lewknor AP/CP (until 1866).

In 1831 the Parliamentary Borough of Great Marlow incorporated the parishes of Little Marlow, Bisham and Medmenham, and until 1867 Great Marlow also included what is now the Parish of Lane End. In 1867 Marlow's entitlement to two Members of Parliament was reduced to one. In 1885, an area northwest of Chisbridge Cross, called "Ackhampstead", until then a detached part of the Parish of Lewknor in Oxfordshire, became part of Great Marlow. At the same time Marlow lost its right to its own MP, becoming part of the constituency of High Wycombe.
