The Cobham Oval is a cricket ground in Whangarei, New Zealand that stages daytime only first-class matches.

It is one of the home grounds for the Northern Districts Knights. It is named after the former Governor General, Charles Lyttelton, 10th Viscount Cobham. A new Cobham Oval was built in 2005.

Cobham Oval became New Zealand's twelfth international cricket venue when a One Day International against Zimbabwe was held on Waitangi Day (6 February 2012).

Only single century has been achieved at the ground.
