'''Oxted''' is a town and [[civil parish]] in the [[Tandridge District|Tandridge]] district of [[Surrey]], England. It is at the foot of the [[North Downs]], {{convert|9|miles|km}} south-east of [[Croydon]], {{convert|9|miles|km}} west of [[Sevenoaks]], and {{convert|9|miles|km}} north of [[East Grinstead]].

Oxted is a [[commuter town]] and [[Oxted railway station]] has direct train services to London. Its main developed area is contiguous with the village of [[Limpsfield]]. The headwaters of the [[River Eden, Kent|River Eden]] unite in the town, east of [[Titsey Place]]. The Eden feeds into [[Kent]]'s longest river, the [[River Medway|Medway]].  Only the southern slope of the North Downs is steep and its towns and farmland form the [[Vale of Holmesdale]], a series of headwaters across Surrey and Kent to separate rivers.

The settlements of '''Hurst Green''' and '''Holland''' within the civil parish to the south are continuous, and almost wholly residential, areas.
