Oxley is a town in Victoria, Australia, located on Snow Road, 12 kilometres south-east of Wangaratta, in the Rural City of Wangaratta.

Oxley derives its name from the Oxley Plains, which were named in 1824 by the explorers Hume and Hovell after John Oxley, the Surveyor-General of New South Wales. The township served as the administrative centre of Oxley Shire until 1936.
