Ozu (Japanese: 大洲市) is a city in Ehime Prefecture, in Shikoku, Japan. It covers 432 sq km (167 sq mi) and has a population of 48,000 people.

The present limits of Ozu dates to 2005, when the city annexed neighboring the towns of Hijikawa and Nagahama and the village of Kawabe. The most important landmark in the city is Ozu Castle, built in 1331 by Utsunomiya Toyofusa. The present structure was only completed in 2004 as the original castle was destroyed in 1888.
