Osprey is a census-designated place (CDP) in Sarasota County, Florida, United States.

Osprey is home to Historic Spanish Point, a 30-acre (12 ha) museum and environmental complex that includes a prehistoric shell mound, a turn-of-the-century pioneer homestead museum, a citrus packing house, chapel, boatyard, gardens and nature trails.

The Osprey Public Library at Historic Spanish Point is the smallest in Sarasota County.

The branch is the county’s first "connections" library, based on the King County, Washington, model, offering online access to the resources of the entire library system in a modest space (630 square feet) with sustainable operating costs.

Some improvements were made to the original school building, such as an acoustical ceiling and panels for the wall, window treatments that buffer the sound, and carpeting.

The land where the school resides is part of the 145-acre homestead of John and Eliza Webb, who settled in Spanish Point in 1867.

His plan for the Spanish Colonial Revival-style building recognized the importance of cross-ventilation in a hot and humid climate.

During difficult economic times, parental and teacher involvement sustained Osprey School.

After World War II, when the county experience renewed economic growth, the school was rewired in 1959 to allow for air conditioning and heating units.
