JavaScript Open Scripting Architecture (OSA), (originally JavaScript for OSA, then JavaScript OSA, abbreviated further as JSOSA), is a discontinued freeware inter-process communication scripting language for the Macintosh computer.

JavaScript OSA uses the "core language" of the Mozilla implementation of the JavaScript programming language, (see SpiderMonkey). The language is used as an alternative to the AppleScript language. Its use is unrelated to web browser-based scripting. It can be seen as having a similar function to Microsoft's JScript .NET language on Windows machines, but with no interoperability between the two languages' system-level scripting.
