HMS Oxford Castle (K692) was a Castle-class corvette built for the United Kingdom's Royal Navy during the Second World War. Completed in early 1944, she spent the war escorting 20 convoys between the UK and Gibraltar. The ship was placed in reserve in 1946 and remained in that status aside from a brief interlude serving as a training ship in 1950 until she was sold for scrap in 1960.
