Ōgishō (奥義抄, "Collection of Inner Meaning") is a Japanese work of poetic criticism (karon).

Authorship and date
It was written by Fujiwara no Kiyosuke, probably between Tenji 1 (1124) and Ten'yō 1 (1144). It was reportedly first presented to Emperor Sutoku, then expanded and presented to Emperor Nijō. It seems, based on the varied textual tradition of the surviving manuscripts, that Kiyosuke produced four different versions of the work through various expansions.
