The Ogan Script is used to write Ogan, a member of the Central Malay language family spoken along the Ogan River in the provinces of South Sumatra and Lampung in eastern Indonesia. It developed among the Ogan people in the Ogan Komering Ulu and Ogan Ilir regencies in South Sumatra. It is used by a few dozen older people, and few younger people, in the Ogan tribe, and also by members of the Penesak, Rambang and Pegagan tribes.

There are also ways to write Ogan with the Latin and Arabic scripts.
