Mike Oldfield (født 15. maj 1953 i Reading, Berkshire, Storbritannien) er en engelsk komponist, guitarist og multi-instrumentalist. Hans stilart blander rock, folk, verdensmusik, klassisk musik, electronica, new age og i nyere tid også dance. Hans musik er ofte kompleks i dens natur.

Sammen med søsteren Sally dannede han i 1968 duoen Sallyangie, som udgav et enkelt album. Han har spillet sammen med flere grupper og fungeret som studiemusiker.

Han er bedst kendt for det minimalistiske debut-hitalbum Tubular Bells fra 1973. Musikken blev senere brugt i og kendt via filmen Exorcisten. Størstedelen af Oldfields produktion er instrumentalmusik. Men især i perioden 1982-1984 havde han flere store hits med bl.a. sange som "Family man" (1982), "Moonlight Shadow" (1983) og "To France" (1984). Sange, hvor han havde sangeren Maggie Reilly med som forsanger, hvorved hun fik sit store gennembrud. Oldfield er inspireret af bl.a. Hank Marvin fra The Shadows.
