Old Oak Common is an urban area in the north-east of Acton, Middlesex. Old Oak Commons was originally a large area of common land lying to the north-east of Acton and north of Wormwood Scrubs.

The area saw major redevelopment from the 2010s. The area is within the council area of Hammersmith and Fulham.
