Oldelamer is a village in Weststellingwerf in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 230 in 2017.

The village was first mentioned in 1320 as Oldenlameren. The etymology is unclear. Olde (old) has been added to distinguish from Nijelamer. The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1784. The little tower was added in 1869. On 14 September 2017, the spire broke in a storm, but was quickly repaired.
