Osnabrück (German: [ɔsnaˈbʁʏk] ⓘ) is a district (Landkreis) in the southwest of Lower Saxony, Germany.

Eight municipalities (Atter, Pye, Hellern, Nahne, Voxtrup, Darum, Gretesch and Lüstringen) were merged with the city of Osnabrück in the same year.

The coat of arms displays the Bennoturm ("Benno's Tower") of Bad Iburg, which served as the fortress of the bishops until 1673.

The committee consists of twelve members from the district assembly, eleven of whom are eligible to vote.

From historical attachment and in view of the entry of Poland in the European Union the Osnabrück district performs its special contribution to the development of the German-Polish friendship.
