Oldcotes is a village in Nottinghamshire, England. It is in the civil parish of Styrrup with Oldcotes. The village is centred on the crossroads of the A60 and A634 roads, five miles southeast of Maltby in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

The history of the village is long and varied. The earliest proof of occupation was the Roman Villa located under the church.

Oldcotes Dyke runs along the southern edge of the village, and has supplied the power to drive two water mills, both of which produced flour. Goldthorpe Mill is situated to the west of the A60 Worksop to Tickhill road. It is an early 18th century building, with later additions, and has been converted into a house. It still contains a steel water wheel dating from the late 19th century, and parts of the wooden machinery. Oldcotes Mill is to the east of the village. This dates from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The wheel drove 3 sets of stones, and much of the machinery is still in situ.

The parish church is dedicated to St Mark, and is situated to the south-west of the crossroads. It was built in 1900 to a design by C Hodgson Fowler. At the western end of Main Street is the Roman Catholic Church of St Helen. It was built between 1869 and 1871, and is thought to have been designed by S J Nicholl. To the north of it, on Blyth Road, is a Wesleyan Chapel dating from 1840. It is built on a plinth, and the walls are rendered. It contained the original furniture when it was added to the listed building register in 1985, but has since been converted into a house.
