Osaka Performance Doll a.k.a. O.P.D. (大阪パフォーマンスドール) was a female japanese idol Jpop band from 1993 to 1997, theatre-based in Osaka, with five main members (called "F/Unit" with their initials) and several others for live performances and trainees.

OPD was the sister-band of Tokyo Performance Doll (TPD), inspired by Jpop band Onyanko Club, like Morning Musume and the Hello! Project or AKB48 more recently. Among main members are future Hello! Project singer Atsuko Inaba and actresses Kumiko Nakano and Yukiko Takeuchi, the last one also performing in 1995 in the band "West End X Yuki", brother band of "East End X Yuri" with fellow TPD member Yuri Ichii. Two members including Inaba left OPD in 1996 and were replaced. The group disbanded in 1997, and made a reunion in 2008 for two shows and one compilation album.
