Hide AdPNE boss Alex Neil and Peter Ridsdale - advisor to club owner Trevor Hemmings - had watched him in action previously in a Checkatrade Trophy game at Charlton.
They see former Everton junior Ledson as someone who can add more strength to their midfield in a similar manner to Ben Pearson.
Ledson, who has represented England at several age levels up to Under-20s, joined Oxford from Everton in August 2016.
He has made 62 appearances for the League One outfit.
The transfer window closes at 11pm on Wednesday.
