Chief Oshkosh (also spelled Os-kosh or Oskosh) (1795–August 29, 1858) was the chief of the Menominee American Indians from 1827 until his death. He played a key role in treaty negotiations as the Menominees tried to protect their lands in Wisconsin from resettling New York Indians and American pioneers. Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is named after him.
