Ottery is a mixed-use, residential, commercial, and industrial suburb in Cape Town, South Africa, located on the eastern edge of the city's Southern Suburbs region.
The suburb's name was derived from an otter sanctuary that was opened in the area in the early 1900s. It was closed as the neighborhood rapidly expanded, later in the century.
