Als Ozean (Plural „die Ozeane“, von altgriechisch Ὠκεανός Ōkeanós, deutsch ‚der die Erdscheibe umfließende Weltstrom‘, personifiziert als antiker Gott Okeanos) bezeichnet man die größten Meere der Erde. Synonym und als Übertragung wird im Deutschen für den Ozean, als die zusammenhängende Wassermasse der Ozeane, auch die Bezeichnung Weltmeer verwandt. Verallgemeinert werden auch große Wassermengen auf anderen Himmelskörpern „Ozeane“ genannt.
