敖德萨州 (乌克兰语:Одеська область)是乌克兰西南部的一个州,与罗马尼亚、摩尔多瓦接壤。面积33,300平方公里,人口2,402,000 (2006年)。首府奥德萨。
西南部原属比萨拉比亚的一部份,1940年根据《苏德互不侵犯条约》纳入乌克兰版图,(1954年并入本州),因而当地罗马尼亚人成为少数民族。1932年设州。面积3.33万平方公里。人口260.6万(1985),乌克兰人占一半以上,还有俄罗斯人、保加利亚人。首府敖德萨。以机械制造(衣机、机床、起重机、船舶)、食品加工、纺织和石油化工为主,建有核电站。农业主产谷物,乳肉用畜牧业重要。沿海有旅游、疗养地多处。主要语言为俄语及乌克兰语。尽管乌克兰语是其官方语言,但乌克兰语的通用性正逐渐下降。敖德萨内包含了不同国籍和族群人士,包括乌克兰人、俄国人、希腊人、犹太人、保加利亚人、亚美尼亚人、德国人、韩国人等等。 根据欧洲的标准,敖德萨市是一个年轻的城市。它是1794 年由叶卡特琳娜二世建立的, 当时的俄罗斯女王认为她的国家需要在黑海边建一个港口,以用来扩展和欧洲之间的贸易往来。在今天的敖德萨的土地上曾经有一个古老的希腊殖民地,当时克里米亚的鞑靼人就居住在这里。他们后来被土耳其人代替。土耳其人在这里建立了要塞,后来又在1789年被俄国人占领了。因为得天独厚的地理位置,敖德萨成为一个贸易,工业和科技中心,在欧洲具有重要的意义。成立一百年之际,敖德萨在人口和经济实力方面成为俄罗斯帝国当中第四位的城市,次于圣彼得堡,莫斯科和华沙。在第一次世界大战和俄罗斯内战期间它免于战乱,二战期间曾经部分被毁。 虽然有历史的骚乱,敖德萨的人口与上个世纪相比仍然增长了将近三倍。如今它以乌克兰工业和度假中心城市的身份继续迅速地成长。温和的气候,多样的海滩和暖和的海水吸引了成千上万的游客来到这里,使得它获得了“南部棕榈”的美称。 自古以来,这里就作为国际贸易城市而呈现一派繁荣景象,街市里充满了自由的气氛,您可全然忘却自己是个外国人而融入其中。在电影《战船“波将金”号》中表现出的市民团结以及二战时建造的地下坑道,还有对纳粹的宁死不屈抵抗或许都源于市民这种独立的自强的精神吧。这个地下坑道现已作为博物馆对外开放。
在乌克兰西南部。东濒黑海,西接摩尔多瓦,南邻罗马尼亚。大部为滨黑海低地,西北有丘陵。气候温和干燥,1月平均气温-5--2℃,7月21-23℃。年降水量约40毫米。地处多瑙河及德涅斯特河下游河口区,土壤肥沃,以黑土为主。

国家科学中心研究所是乌克兰最早对葡萄种植及葡萄酒酿造进行科学研究的机构之一。研究所的工作人员研究出60多个葡萄品种,其中有20种被列入乌克兰植物品种目录。
蓬勃发展的旅游业是该州经济发展中的主导产业。优越的地理位置,丰富的文化遗产,热情的当地居民,完备的基础设施使得该州受到众多游客的青睐。沿海地带有长达170千米的沙滩浴场,6个具有天然珍稀医疗资源的三角洲,其中的库亚利尼克溺谷配备有近千种旅游疗养项目,可同时接纳10万游客及病人并提供相应的医疗服务。
敖德萨地区疗养资源(海洋性气候、沙滩浴场、泥浴治疗及矿泉水)的水平名列前茅,可同克里木相媲美。2007年共接纳游客及疗养者200多万。敖德萨地区具有很强的投资潜力,据国际专家评估,接近150亿美元。交通,食品,石化工业,金融等相关产业是最具投资吸引力的领域。2007年底经济领域的直接外资投资额近9亿美元,同比2000年增长了3倍。可惜的是中国投资商的积极性相对不高。据统计,2007年敖德萨州同世界其他国家的货物吞吐量将近50亿美元,同比2006年增长了10亿美元。其中近1/3的货物量销往欧盟国家。2007年我州企业同中国的外贸总额为7亿多美元。仅2008年上半年这个数字就达到7.72亿美元,比去年同期增长了2倍。今年1至7月之间,从中国进口的主要商品为机械设备,社会消费品(衣服,家具,玩具),建筑用聚合材料以及矿产品等。
