Oberhambach is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Birkenfeld district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Birkenfeld, whose seat is in the like-named town.

Oberhambach is a tourism resort.

The municipality lies on the Hambach in the Hunsrück. The municipal area is 57.5% wooded.

Not far outside the village, to the west, is the Sauerbrunnen (“Sour Spring”), a health spring known for many centuries now, and still a popular spot for an outing. The minerals lend the drinkable springwater a flavour all its own, and many people come to drink it.

The council is made up of 8 council members, who were elected by majority vote at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.

Oberhambach's mayor is Günter Stolz.

The German blazon reads: Unter rot-silbern geschachtem Schildhaupt in Blau ein goldenes Rechteck, darin zwei rotgewandete Figuren, die Aeskulap und Merkur darstellen.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure a block Or charged with figures of Aesculapius and Mercury of the same vested gules. the chief countercompony gules and argent.
