Oakmere is a neighbourhood of Potters Bar in the borough of Hertsmere, Hertfordshire. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of interwar semi-detached houses and later infill developments arranged along short, connected streets.

Road links and pedestrian routes give straightforward access to other parts of Potters Bar without relying on routes outside the borough.

At the heart of the neighbourhood is Oakmere Park, which takes its name from a shallow, spring-fed lake fringed by reed beds and a network of footpaths.

Woodland belts and mown lawns provide year-round green space and the lake supports wintering and breeding waterfowl, creating a clear focus for local recreation and informal wildlife watching.
