De gewone oeverlibel (Orthetrum cancellatum) is een echte libel uit de familie van de korenbouten (Libellulidae). Het is de grootste en meest algemene oeverlibel in Nederland.
De gewone oeverlibel heeft een pijlvormig achterlijf: het begint breed, eindigt in een punt en heeft rechte zijkanten. Het gezicht is geel tot bruin. De pterostigmata zijn zwart. Uitgekleurde mannetjes hebben een blauwberijpt achterlijf met een duidelijke zwarte punt. Aan de buitenranden van de segmenten staan gele streepjes, die bij oude mannetjes verdwijnen onder nog meer blauwe berijping. Het borststuk is bruin, zonder blauwe berijping. Jonge mannetjes die nog geen berijping op het achterlijf hebben, zien eruit als vrouwtjes: de grondkleur van het lichaam (zowel achterlijf als borststuk en gezicht) is geel. Op de bovenkant van het achterlijf lopen twee dikke zwarte lengtestrepen.
