Otta is a town in the municipality of Sel in the county of Oppland in Norway.

The town is named after the Otta river.

Situated 110 kilometers North from Lillehammer, it spans the valley floor where Ottadalen branches of the Gudbrand Valley and the largely glacial fed, most of its 4,000 km² watershed being in a very arid region, the river Otta merges into Gudbrandsdalslågen.

North-east lies the massif Rondane, which areas became the first national park in Norway in 1962, and has several mountains over 2,000 metres.
