Hartlepool held on for a victory which moves them into the top-half, despite the dismissal of Peter Hartley.
Ritchie Jones headed Pools in front from Antony Sweeney's left-wing cross.
The hosts were 2-0 up at the break after Andy Monkhouse drilled home from 12 yards after a misplaced pass from Oldham's Sean Gregan.
Hartley was sent off with seven minutes remaining after a penalty area melee before Pawel Abbott headed in to spark a frantic finish - but Pools survived.
