Omusati (the Oshindonga word for Mopane, the dominant tree in the area) is one of the fourteen regions of Namibia; its capital is Outapi. The towns of Okahao, Oshikuku, and Ruacana, as well as the self-governed village of Tsandi, are situated in this region. As of 2020, Omusati had 148,834 registered voters.

The region is home to the Ruacana Falls, among the largest waterfalls in Africa, and the Omugulugwombashe heritage site, where the Namibian struggle for independence started in 1966.
