Die Otitis externa (lateinisch) oder deutsch Außenohrentzündung (bei Tieren auch als „Ohrenzwang“ bezeichnet) ist eine Entzündung der Haut des äußeren Ohres, vor allem des äußeren Gehörganges. Das Trommelfell und die Ohrmuschel können mitbetroffen sein. In der Kleintiermedizin gilt sie als die häufigste behandelte Erkrankung.
