Ostmark var en av de tidligste betegnelsene på det senere hertugdømmet Østerrike. Det fungerte som grensemark mot øst for Bayern. Begrepet ble allerede rundt årtusenskiftet erstattet av navnet Österreich. Begge navnene (Ostmark = den østlige mark, Österreich = det østlige rike) er avledet av beliggenheten (sett fra Bayern). [1]
