Oat Lane is a short street in the ward of Bassishaw in the City of London.
First mentioned by Leake in 1666, it runs from Noble Street to Staining Lane between Gresham Street and London Wall.
The Great Hall of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers stands midway down Oat Lane. The church of St Mary Staining once stood here and a small garden still marks the location of the lost church.
The nearest London Underground station is St. Paul's and the closest mainline railway station is Moorgate.

“Once in this wine the summer blood
Knocked in the flesh that decked the vine,
Once in this bread
The oat was merry in the wind;
Man broke the sun, pulled the wind down.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“That way of life against which my generation rebelled had given us grim courage, fortitude, self-discipline, a sense of individual responsibility, and a capacity for relentless hard work.”
