Oakwood is a suburb of north-east Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, that lies between Gipton and Roundhay Park.

The name itself has fairly simple roots, merely referring to the species of tree, though the usage of the name for the suburb can be attributed to Oakwood House, a stately home that has since been renovated and turned into a retirement home called Sabourn Court.

Oakwood Clock, is a small clock tower that was built in 1904 by Potts of Leeds to the design of Leeming and Leeming and is sited at the bottom end of Roundhay Park; it was first designed as the centrepiece of Kirkgate Market, Leeds.

After the design of Kirkgate Market was revised it was considered that this clock would no longer be suitable for the building, and the idea to place it in Oakwood came about.

[9] On Roundhay Road is the Post Office, a supermarket, currently Home Bargains (formerly Netto, Co-op, Somerfield and Safeway) and several shops and banks.

[12] Regular stalls and 'feature' stalls provide a range of local products including: jams, meats, eggs, chocolates, bread and wide range of locally grown fruits and vegetables.

Because the LS8 postcode boundary includes Fearnville, Gipton and Harehills, they are sometimes considered part of or heavily linked with Oakwood.

[15][16] The public house on the opposite side of the road was formerly called "The Gipton", but its name has now been changed to "The Roundhay".
