Oakmere is a village and civil parish in the county of Cheshire, in the north west of England, approximately 7 miles west of Frodsham. It is within the borough of Vale Royal.

Oakmere is situated on the A556 road. It has three pubs, The Abbey Arms (named after the nearby Vale Royal Abbey), the Fishpool Inn (named after a now dried up fish pond used by the monks from Vale Royal abbey) and The Fourways, a former country club.[citation needed] There is also a car-sales business[citation needed] and a caravan sales company.[1] The adjoining village of Delamere has a post-office, church and railway station on the Chester to Manchester line.

The area is mainly agricultural, and has a number of large sand quarries nearby, some of which are wet-workings.[citation needed] The lake from which the village takes it's name is a site of scientific interest.[citation needed]
