Oldhamstocks or Aldhamstocks ("old dwelling place") is a civil parish and small village in the east of East Lothian, Scotland, adjacent to the Scottish Borders. It has a population of 193, and overlooks the North Sea. The parish church was consecrated in 1292.

The summer Gala Day hosts activities such as sporting events. There is also judging of vegetables, plants and artwork.

Prior to 1891 the parish was also partly in Berwickshire and had a detached portion at Butterdean of 1417 acres.

The detached portion was transferred to Coldingham, Berwickshire, while the main part of the parish is now wholly within East Lothian.[1]
