Oakford is a small village and civil parish in Mid Devon, in the county of Devon, England. It sits among rolling farmland and hedged lanes on the western fringes of Exmoor, with a scattering of stone cottages, traditional farmsteads and quiet country roads; the parish is within easy reach of the market towns of Tiverton and Bampton.

The community is characteristically rural, with agriculture - dairy, sheep and mixed arable - remaining important, while small-scale tourism, riding and walking bring visitors to nearby moorland and lanes. A compact local life revolves around the parish church, village hall and occasional community events, preserving the sense of a long-established Devon settlement with historic buildings and countryside traditions.
