Hugh de Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford (c. 1210 – December, 1263) was the only child and heir of Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford. Hugh was born c. 1210. His father died in 1221, and Hugh made homage for his earldom in 1231. He was knighted around the same time. He supposedly also took part in the Seventh Crusade, in 1248–1254.
