OSV Hannover is a German association football club based in the Oststadt district of Hanover, Lower Saxony.

After World War II the football side was associated with TuS Bothfeld 04 until re-establishing themselves as an independent club in 1953.

OSV re-established a facility sharing partnership with TuS Bothfeld 04 in the mid-1970s, and had a close brush with bankruptcy in the early 1980s.

The club slipped into obscurity in the lower level local leagues, playing as far down as the Kreisliga Hannover-Stadt (IX) in 2003–05.

In 2005, the executive board helped engineer a turnaround when they brought in Wolfgang Kirchner as manager and had former SV Arminia Hannover player Philip Menges join the team as player-coach.
