The Ozama River (Spanish: Rio Ozama) in the Dominican Republic can trace its source to the Loma Siete Cabezas in the Sierra de Yamasá close to Villa Altagracia.

The river flows 148 kilometers before emptying into the Caribbean Sea. At the end of the journey it bisects the capital, Santo Domingo, into eastern and western halves. The three main tributaries of the Ozama are the Isabela River, the Sabita River and the Yabacao River.

Christopher Columbus is said to have moored his ship in the river when he first arrived in Santo Domingo.[citation needed]
