The woman, who suffered minor injuries, was taken by ambulance to Lorn and Islands Hospital in the town.
A police spokeswoman said: “We received a report of a collision between a car and a pedestrian at 8.50am in Stevenson Street, Oban.
“A 75-year-old woman was taken to Lorn and Islands Hospital with minor injuries, which were not life-threatening.”
