Ostforschung (from the German word for "east research") was a multi-disciplined organisation set up before World War II by Albert Brackmann and several other historians and anthropologists to co-ordinate German research on Eastern Europe, mainly Poland.

The research conducted by this organisation, as well as the Ahnenerbe, was instrumental in promoting German political aims such as German colonisation and the Germanisation of Eastern Europe by ethnic cleansing and genocide of local non-German populations (see Generalplan Ost).
