too many variables to make a diagnosis from your brief description. What brand/weight oil? What oil filter? Is this a recent issue, or has it been that way for a while? Have you verified actual pressure with a mechanical gauge?

I been there...Screw in a know accurate mechanical gauge to verify oil pressure. In my case it was a faulty sender. And on another simply tightening the sender gave a better reading.

Check with a good mechanical gauge as suggested.

What brand of oil filter are you using? Is it orange?
