OMICS Publishing Group is a publisher of approximately 200 open access journals in a number of academic fields. It is based in Los Angeles, USA, Hyderabad, India and Henderson, Nevada.

The company's publishing model requires authors to pay publication fees of several hundred (and in some cases thousands of) US dollars. The list of journals includes titles such as Biochemistry and Analytical Biochemistry, Women's Health, and Organ Biology.

Some observers describe the publisher as "predatory".
