Oscar John de Satge (1836–1906) was an Australian squatter and politician. He was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.

Oscar John de Satge was born on 20 November 1836 in Lausanne, Switzerland, the son of Ernest Valentine, first vicomte de Satgé de St Jean, and his wife Caroline (née Sparkes). He attended school at Rugby School from 1849 to 1952. In May 1853, he immigrated to Melbourne, Australia, on the Essex.

On 29 January 1869, Robert Travers Atkin, member for Clermont, resigned. On 4 March 1869, Oscar de Satge was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly at the resulting by-election, defeating Charles Hardie Buzacott, the proprietor of the local newspaper, the Peak Downs Telegram. He held that seat only until he resigned on 4 April 1870. John Robinson Benson won the resulting by-election on 4 May 1870. However, only a few months later, at the next state election on 6 September 1870, Oscar de Satge was re-elected in the seat on 6 September 1870, which he held until he resigned again on 9 April 1872. Charles Graham won the resulting by-election on 30 April 1872.

On 4 November 1873, he was elected again, this time in the electoral district of Normanby. He held this seat until he resigned on 20 March 1877. George Fox won the resulting by-election on 19 April 1877.

On 30 December 1880, Boyd Dunlop Morehead, the member for Mitchell, was appointed to the Queensland Legislative Council. Oscar de Satge won the resulting by-election on 3 February 1881. He held this seat until he resigned on 5 April 1882. John Govett won the resulting by-election on 27 April 1882.
