Otago

 is a local government region of New Zealand. It adjoins the southern portion of the east coast of the South Island, the Canterbury Region to the north-east, the West Coast Region to the north-west, and the Southland Region to the south-west.

Chief population centre is Dunedin (founded by immigrants from Scotland in 1848). Others include Oamaru, Milton, Balclutha, Roxburgh, Alexandra, Cromwell, Queenstown, and Ranfurly.

The region is largely within the eastern 60% of the former Otago Province (1852-1876).
