Oenone Wood, born on 24 September 1980 in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, is a retired professional cyclist, who commenced her cycling career in 2001 at the age of 21.

She was a member of professional cycling Team Columbia Women (USA) and the Canberra Cycling Club, and formerly of the T-Mobile Professional Women's Cycling Team (GER). She lives in Merewether, a suburb of Newcastle.

Her greatest success as a road cyclist has arguably been in Australian tours, including the Australian Criterium, Bay Series Criterium and the Geelong Tour, with some success overseas, particularly winning Stages of the Giro d'Italia Femminile (ITA) and the Points Classification for the Giro d'Italia Femminile in 2004 and 2005. In the 2004 Summer Olympics Women's Road race she was in the leading group with fellow Australian Sara Carrigan, and when Carrigan and Judith Arndt broke away in the final lap to win the gold and silver medals, Wood had to sprint for the bronze medal with Olga Slyusareva of Russia and Nicole Cooke of Great Britain, coming 4th overall in the race. She was the 2008 Australian Open Road champion (in the Elite Women's Road Race event).
