Oldland is a village in Gloucestershire. The wider civil parish includes the villages of Cadbury Heath and Longwell Green, and part of Willsbridge, though not Oldland Common.

In the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 14,623.

The parish church is St Anne's. The current church was built in 1830, replacing an older building, a chapel-of-ease for those for whom the journey to the parish church at Bitton too far. The diocesan records in about 1280 mention Oldland Chapel, in a record referring to Bytton cum capella de Oldeland.
