Kawachi (河内国; -no kuni) was a province of Japan, which today composes the south-eastern part of Osaka Prefecture.
Kawachi's ancient capital is believed to have been near Fujiidera, Osaka, but this is not known for certain. Kawachi was a relatively small province and was usually dominated by whoever ruled Osaka Castle and Settsu Province.
