Andrew Mark Oakes (born 11 January 1977) is an English former football goalkeeper. His uncle is the Manchester City midfielder Alan Oakes. His cousin Michael Oakes, also a goalkeeper, played for Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Cardiff City.
He spent his early years at Macclesfield Town and Winsford United, before playing for Hull City in 1998–99. He then was signed by Premier League side Derby County for £465,000. He spent his six years at Pride Park as a back-up keeper, and also spent brief spells on loan at Port Vale and Bolton Wanderers. He signed with Walsall in March 2005, before moving on to Swansea City in August 2006. He signed with Darlington in May 2007, before leaving the game two years later.
Oakes started his career with Barnton, but joined Macclesfield Town in the 1996–97 season as cover for regular goalkeeper Ryan Price as the club battled towards promotion into the Football League. Oakes played once for the "Silkmen", in a 2–0 FA Cup defeat to Rochdale, where he reportedly played with a broken finger. After the season finished he moved on to Northern Premier League side Winsford United. In December 1998 he returned to the Football League when he signed with Third Division club Hull City, who were then managed by Warren Joyce. He played twenty games of the 1998–99 season, and his performances at Boothferry Park earned him a £465,000 move to Premier League side Derby County in June 1999. He immediately went out on loan with Port Vale, but returned to Pride Park within three weeks having failed to make an appearance for Brian Horton's "Valiants".
