Oxacillin sodium (trade name Bactocill) is a narrow spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic of the penicillin class. It is resistant to penicillinases, such as that produced by Staphylococcus aureus.

It is widely used clinically in the US, but in the UK is only used for laboratory identification of resistant organisms. including MRSA and Streptococcus pneumoniae).
