Osino is a town and the capital of Fanteakwa South district, of the Eastern region of Ghana, located on the Accra-Kumasi highway between Anyinam and Bunsu Junction.[1][2] It is a semi-rural agrarian setting popular for the street-hawking of the sweetened boiled maize dough delicacy known as the "Osino Graphic".[3]

The town is the location of the Osino Presbyterian Secondary Technical School and is known for the mining of gold. The school is a second-cycle institution.[4]
