The Odessa City garden (Ukrainian: Міський сад) is located in town centre of Odessa, Ukraine, at the Deribasivska Street. Founded by Felix de Ribas (brother of José de Ribas) in 1803, it is the oldest park in the city. Felix de Ribas was an owner of most of this part of the town, but did not have enough resources to sustain the expenditure and so he donated the territory of the city garden to the city on November 10, 1806.

The garden includes the summer theatre of the Odessa Orchestra, by architect R.A. Vladimirskaya (1949), the pavilion, by architect A.A. Gentsler (1943) and a number of sculptures and monuments.

The last reconstruction took place in 2007, when the pavilion, music fountain, and facades of buildings were renovated.
