Two submarines of the Royal Australian Navy have borne the name Oxley, after explorer John Oxley.

The second HMAS Oxley (S-57) was an Oberon class submarine laid down by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Greenock in Scotland on 2 June 1964, launched on 24 September 1965 and commissioned on 21 March 1967. HMAS Oxley paid off on 13 February 1992 and was scrapped. Her fin is on display outside the Submarine Training and Systems Centre at HMAS Stirling and her bow at the Western Australian Maritime Museum in Fremantle.
