Oyster Bay is a posh area of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania where many affluent people live. It is known for an attractive beach. Europeans have resided here since colonial times.

The name is commonly spelled as one word, "Oysterbay". The area is bounded by the Indian Ocean on the east, Mawenzi Road on the North, Ali Hassan Mwinyi to the south, and Ali bin Said Road to the West. Some local institutions are named Oysterbay, including a police station, a hospital and a school. The centre of the neighborhood is the Oysterbay Shopping Centre where there are businesses and art galleries. The popular Tanzanian Tingatinga Art Gallery is located here.
