Oak View is a census-designated place (CDP) in Ventura County, California, United States. The population was 4,199 at the 2000 census.

In close proximity to several historic surrounding towns, such as Ojai, Fillmore, and Santa Paula, Oak View is an area recently selected by many people looking for a place close to the Ventura and its shoreline, while having quick access to the resort town of Ojai. Recent real estate market analysis showed Oak View to be one of the fastest appreciating towns in America (New York Times).

Although the coffee shops, diners, grocery marts, and other buildings along Highway 33 running through town could use some coordinated design (the Oak View Civic Council is working to that end), many of the surrounding neighborhoods offer a quiet, rustic feel, akin to camping out.
