Bubo osvaldoi is an extinct species of horned owl from Pleistocene of Cuba.
It was described by Oscar Arredondo and Storrs L. Olson in 1994 from three bones found in a cave in the Guaniguanico mountain range in Pinar del Río. Analysis of these indicates that the species was larger than any current owl.
