Ọṣun-Oṣogbo or Ọṣun-Oṣogbo Sacred Grove is a sacred forest along the banks of the Ọṣun river just outside the city of Oṣogbo, Nigeria.
The Ọṣun-Oṣogbo Grove is among the last of the sacred forests which usually adjoin the edges of most Yoruba cities before extensive urbanization.
In recognition of its global significance and its cultural value, the Ọṣun-Oṣogbo Sacred Grove was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005.
