Oschersleben is a town in the district of Börde, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It covers 189 sq km (73 sq mi) and has a population of 21,000 people (2012 estimate).

Oschersleben is near the river Bode which flows to the north of town. Oschersleben was first mentioned in AD 994. It had developed into a town by the 13th century though a major fire in the 17th century completely razed it.

When it was part of East Germany, Oschersleben was developed into an agricultural center. After reunification, other farm-based industries were established here including a potato-processing plant that produces French fries and potato chips.
