Oxford College of Emory University (Oxford College) is a residential college of Emory University. Oxford College is located in Oxford, Georgia, on Emory University's original campus 38 miles (61 km) east of Emory's current Atlanta campus. It specializes in the foundations of liberal arts education. Students who enroll in Oxford College complete an associate of the arts degree there, after which they can continue their studies at Emory's Atlanta campus to pursue a bachelor degree without any additional applications.

Oxford College has an enrollment of nearly 1,000 freshman and sophomore students. Campus organizations include community service groups, interest clubs, and social clubs, the school's replacement for traditional fraternities and sororities. The college participates in NJCAA Division III sports, with the men's and women's tennis teams having won national championships multiple times. The university-wide unofficial mascot, a skeleton named "Lord Dooley", has its origins in the Oxford campus.
