Oscar Ewing Price, known as O. E. Price (January 1, 1924 – February 23, 2006), was a state district and appeals court judge from Bossier City, Louisiana.

Price was born in Logansport in DeSoto Parish in northwestern Louisiana to Oscar Elijah Price (1876–1943) and the former Katherine Holt. Price graduated at the age of sixteen from Logansport High School and then entered Louisiana Tech University in Ruston for three years. He then entered the United States Army Air Corps, forerunner to the Air Force, for three years of service during World War II. He served in the Pacific Theater of operations. In 1949, he earned his Juris Doctor degree from Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge and thereafter opened his law office in Bossier City, located across the Red River from Shreveport.

In 1954, Price, a Democrat, was elected municipal judge in Bossier City. On July 23, 1960, he secured election to the 26th Judicial District Court bench. With 6,031 votes, Price defeated two primary opponents from Bossier City, Laurie Campbell and Harvey Locke Carey, who polled 3,713 and 1,828 votes, respectively. Carey had served brief in 1950 as a U. S. Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana, based in Shreveport. Beginning in 1960, there were two judgeships in the 26th District. Price was the judge for Bossier Parish, and his colleague, also elected in 1960, was Enos McClendon of Minden for Webster Parish.
