Oakfield Wood is a {{convert|2.8|hectare|acre|adj=on}} nature reserve west of Wrabness in Essex. It is managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust.{{cite web|url= http://www.essexwt.org.uk/reserves/oakfield-wood |title= Oakfield Wood |publisher= Essex Wildlife Trust |access-date= 9 November 2016}}

This is former farmland which is being converted into a "green burial ground", overlooking the Stour Estuary. A native broadleaved tree is planted for each burial with a wooden plaque at the base. When the burial ground is full, it will be managed by the trust as a nature reserve.

There is access to the site carpark from Wheatsheaf Lane by a track which leads through Wrabness Nature Reserve carpark.
