Oakthorpe is a village in the civil parish of Oakthorpe, Donisthorpe and Acresford, in the North West Leicestershire district, in the county of Leicestershire, England.
In 1086, Oakthorpe was part of Derbyshire and was amongst several manors given to Nigel of Stafford by William the Conqueror. Until 1897 Oakthorpe, and its neighbours Measham and Donisthorpe, continued to form part of an extensive exclave of Derbyshire.
