Osowa Sień [ɔˈsɔva ˈɕeɲ] (German: Röhrsdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wschowa, within Wschowa County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland. It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-east of Wschowa and 59 km (37 mi) east of Zielona Góra.
The current name of the village is literally a house in the aspen and appears in Polish historical sources also as Ossowa Sień or Ossowasień. The German name is derived from the name of a German settler Rüdiger and occurs in older versions as Rüdigersdorf or later shortened Röhrsdorf.
The first mention of the village dates from 1325 and then was called Rudegeri Villa.
The Church of St. Fabian and St. Sebastian, built in the 14th century, is the oldest historical building in Osowa Sień. It is a single-aisle building, made of stone with a use of bricks.
