Oad Street is a small hamlet in the English county of Kent.

Oad Street forms part of the civil parish of Borden which, in turn, is part of Swale district. Oad Street is located close to Junction 5 of the M2 motorway where it crosses the A249 road.

In 1798, Edward Hasted records that this hamlet was once called Hoade Street and Woodstreet, before coming Oade Street. Named after a nearby Chestnut Wood (which covered the hillside down towards Danaway). In 1653, most of the parish was controlled by William Genery (from Throwley).
