A Celtic tribe in Gaul, living in the extreme north-west of Brittany. They were first mentioned by the Greek traveler Pytheas in the fourth century BC. He located them on the western tip of Brittany, on a headland then called Kabaion; this was later known by the Latin name Finis Terrae, the End of the World, and is still known by the French version of this, Finistère.

The main town of the Osismii was Vorgium: modern Carhaix. The tribe submitted to Julius Caesar in 57 BC, though the following year they joined the Veneti in a revolt against Caesar, who suppressed them.
