The Osaka International Ladies Marathon (大阪国際女子マラソン Ōsaka Kokusai Joshi Marason?) is an annual marathon road race for women over the classic distance of 42.195 kilometres which is held in late January in the city of Osaka, Japan.

The event is hosted by Japan Association of Athletics Federations (日本陸上競技連盟?), Kansai Telecasting Corporation (関西テレビ放送株式会社?), the Sankei Shimbun Co., Ltd. (株式会社産業経済新聞社?, the Sankei Shimbun), Sankei Sports (サンケイスポーツ?), Osaka Broadcasting Corporation (大阪放送株式会社?, Radio Osaka) and Osaka City (大阪市?).

The first edition took place on January 24, 1982, and was won by Italy's Rita Marchisio. The 1995 marathon was cancelled due to the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The race takes place in the city itself and passes prominent landmarks such as Osaka Castle. The course was altered in 2011 to allow for faster times by cutting out a number of hilly sections which were previously present on the section of the course near the Osaka Castle.[1] The finish line of the race is at Nagai Stadium, which was the host venue for the 2007 World Championships in Athletics.[2]

The Japanese rock group The Alfee has written a large number of the theme songs for the marathon.
