Ozark is a brand of acoustic and folk string instruments distributed by Stentor Music, a UK-based musical instrument company headquartered in Reigate, Surrey. The brand was launched in the late 1970s/early 1980s, initially producing banjos and mandolins manufactured in Japan. Production has since shifted to factory workshops in Asia, with Stentor owning and distributing the brand globally.

The Ozark range covers a broad slice of the fretted folk and bluegrass world, including acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars, resonator guitars, 4-string, 5-string and 6-string banjos, mandolins, bouzoukis, ukuleles, and zithers. Instruments are positioned toward the entry-level and intermediate segments, with some higher-spec banjo models offering features like 3-ply rims and brass tone rings. The brand is widely stocked by UK folk and acoustic specialists such as Hobgoblin Music and Eagle Music Shop.

Ozark is best known among UK and European players as a gateway into bluegrass, Celtic, and folk music, offering playable instruments at accessible price points rather than boutique or signature-artist models.

Ozark has 9 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Banjos, Resonators, and Mandolins. Their gear is featured by 4 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Blues, and Electronic. Notable users include Peter Green, Alice Phoebe Lou, and Nicky Skopelitis.
