Ödåkra () is a locality situated in Helsingborg Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 4,920 inhabitants in 2010. It is situated just north-east of Helsingborg and could be regarded as a suburb of that city. Ödåkra is known for its old distillery, which existed from 1897 to 1976 and gave the name to the spirit Ödåkra Taffel Aqvavit.

The locality is located about eight kilometres north of Helsingborg’s City Centre, and also about eight kilometres from Öresund. Immediately south of the town lies the shopping centre Väla centrum. Ödåkra is bisected by the West Coast Line (train stop on the Skåne Commuter Rail between Ängelholm and Malmö), and lies adjacent to the motorways E6/E20 and E4. The proximity of Helsingborg has made the town quite popular (about ten minutes by train), along with the large townhouse area Björka built near Väla centrum in Ödåkra in the 1980s. More housing is under development.
