Pure iron oxide is a compound, but if there is something else mixed in with it, then of course it will become a mixture. There is more than one oxide of iron, though.

Here are 2 types of iron oxide:

Iron (II) Oxide is a black powder with a formula of FeO

Iron (III) Oxide, also rust, is a brownish-red powder with a formula of Fe2O3
