Otway Woodhouse (21 October 1855 – 21 September 1887) was a British tennis player in the early years of Wimbledon.

[3] William Renshaw won the first of his seven titles the following year and beat Woodhouse in the quarter-finals.

[3] In 1880 he entered the first unofficial U.S. Championships men's singles event at Staten Island, New York (played with an unconventional scoring system) and won the tournament.

By 1885 his workaholic nature was putting a strain on his health, so he went on a sabbatical to Cannes.

He died aged just 31 in 1887 (overwork in the period 1881 to 1885 being a main factor in his death).
