Margery Golding, Countess of Oxford (c. 1526 – 2 December 1568) was the second wife of John de Vere, 16th Earl of Oxford, the mother of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, and the half-sister of Arthur Golding, the English translator.

John also had a child, Katherine, from his previous marriage to Dorothy Neville, daughter of Ralph Neville, 4th Earl of Westmorland.
