Oxna is one of the Scalloway Islands, lying north west of Burra in Shetland, Scotland. Oxna has an area of 68 hectares (170 acres).

The island has been uninhabited since the First World War, but there is a house which is still used as a holiday home.

Papa island lies a few hundred metres to the east of Oxna's north coast.
