Meredith Oakes (born 1946, Sydney) is an Australian playwright who has lived in London since 1970. She has written plays, adaptations, translations, opera texts and poems, and taught play-writing at Royal Holloway College and for the Arvon Foundation. She also wrote music criticism for The Independent newspaper in London and The Daily Telegraph in Sydney, as well as contributing to a variety of magazines including The Listener.
Her first performed play was The Neighbour for the Royal National Theatre in 1993. Other plays have included The Editing Process (1994), Faith (1997), and Scenes from the Back of Beyond (2006) at the Royal Court Theatre, Mind the Gap (1995) at Hampstead Theatre, Man for Hire (2002) at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, and Shadowmouth (2006) at the Crucible Studio in Sheffield. Her most recent plays were a trio of shorts, The Fisherman, Short Lease and SATB, written for actor-musician students at Rose Bruford College and staged at Battersea Arts Centre in June 2007.
Both The Neighbour and Faith have been staged in the USA, the former in Los Angeles, and the latter off-Broadway in New York. Oakes’s plays are mostly published by Oberon Books. The text of The Tempest is published by Faber Music. Her radio plays have included Glide (1998, with incidental music by Gerald Barry), Trampoline (2000), and The Mind of the Meeting (2002), all for BBC Radio 3.

For television she originated the story of Prime Suspect 4: Inner Circles (1995).
