Osiris is a Doom II episode replacement mod of eight levels, created by Marshal Bostwick and Glen Payne in 1996. The WAD comes with a DeHackEd file (osiris.deh) which makes cosmetic and functional changes to several enemies, items, and weapons, as well as new cheat codes.

The first three maps were previously released as I, Anubis in 1995.

It was included in Doomworld's Top 25 Missed Cacowards feature in 2018.
