Oxelösund is a locality and the seat of Oxelösund Municipality in Södermanland County, Sweden with 11,488 inhabitants in 2018. It is located less than south from the city centre of its larger neighbour, Nyköping, with the two urban areas forming a wider agglomeration of nearly 50,000 people.

== History == left|thumb|An early aerial photo of the Oxelösund ironworks showing its original size. The harbour at Oxelösund has been used for at least 500 years. In the 19th century, an increased extraction from the mining district of Central Sweden (e.g. Bergslagen), made Oxelösund a harbour of transport. A local railroad company was established in 1873 and bought virtually the entire peninsula, which then belonged to the estates of the Stjärnholm Castle.
