Oda Kazuma (1882 – 1956) was a Japanese print artist and researcher, active from the end of the 19th century. He started with lithographs, but also learned painting and woodblock printing. He became a prominent member of the Sosaku-hanga movement.

His activities within the Shin-hanga were more limited, resulting only in six designs. These were published by Watanabe and very successful, but published only in low numbers.
