The Oxmoor neighborhood (formerly the Jones Valley neighborhood) is a neighborhood in Birmingham's Southwest community. The large, sparsely-populated area borders Homewood, Hoover, Bessemer and Lipscomb on the southwestern edge of the city limits, south of Red Mountain. It is traversed by Lakeshore Parkway, Shannon-Wenonah Road (Venice Road), Wenonah-Oxmoor Road (Sydney Drive), and Shannon-Oxmoor Road. North of the ridge of Red Mountain, Oxmoor is bounded by the Powderly, Mason City and Garden Highlands neighborhoods of the Southwest community, and by the West Goldwire and Tarpley City neighborhoods of the Grasselli community. It is divided by the administrative border between the Birmingham Division and Bessemer Cut Off of Jefferson County

The Oxmoor neighborhood includes the historic community of Pleasant Valley. It is the site of Red Mountain Park, the West Oxmoor Industrial Park, the Oxmoor Corporate Park, and the Oxmoor Valley Golf Course. A few newer residential subdivisions, including Waterford Falls, Camden Place, and Ridgeview Estates have been developed in the valley.

Leona Payne is the neighborhood president. The Oxmoor Neighborhood Association meets on the second Monday of each month at Shady Grove Baptist Church at 2581 Wenonah Oxmoor Road. The entire neighborhood is in Birmingham City Council District 7. Most of Oxmoor uses the 35211 ZIP code.
