The Oakland Cemetery Preservation Society (OCPS) is a non-profit organization in Shreveport, Louisiana, dedicated to preserving and protecting the historic Oakland Cemetery. The OCPS was established in 2004 by a group of dedicated volunteers to promote the preservation and protection of the cemetery and its history.

Oakland Cemetery is the final resting place of many of Shreveport's earliest citizens. It is also the site of many historic events and memorials, including a monument to the Confederate dead and the tomb of Confederate General Alfred Mouton. Additionally, the cemetery is the resting place of many veterans from the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

The OCPS works to promote the preservation and protection of Oakland Cemetery through a variety of activities, including fundraising, education, and advocacy. They work to ensure that the cemetery's historic structures and monuments are maintained, and also host special events throughout the year to bring attention to the cemetery's unique history.

The OCPS is committed to fostering an appreciation of the cemetery and its history, as well as educating the public about the importance of preserving and protecting historic sites like Oakland Cemetery.
