Owari Meishō Zue (尾張名所図会, “Guide to famous Owari sites”) is an illustrated guide describing famous places and depicting their scenery in pre-1868 Owari province in central Japan. It was printed using Japanese woodblock printing techniques in books divided among volumes.

The Owari Meishō Zue followed the publication of the Edo Meishō Zue, which sparked a public interest in travel guides.
