Oadby and Wigston is a local government district and borough in the English county of Leicestershire. It is composed of the two areas Oadby, and Wigston Magna and some hinterland. It is predominantly urban, and runs directly into Leicester, to the north-west.

It is part of the Harborough constituency, and was formed in 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, by the merger of the Oadby and Wigston urban districts.

It is twinned with the towns of Maromme and Norderstedt.
