Oare is a small village in the civil parish of Chieveley in the English county of Berkshire.

In 638, King Edgar gave Oare Chapel to the Abbot of Abingdon, a gift witnessed by Saint Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury.

The grange was pulled down during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the reign of Henry VIII, leaving the little church for the people.

The church, dedicated to St Bartholomew, is described by Historic England as "C15, almost completely re-built in Decorated style in 1852".

[3] The M4 motorway runs just to the north of the village between junctions 12 (Theale) and 13 (Chieveley Services);[4] this section opened in 1971.
