Osei Kofi (born 3 June 1940) is a former Ghanaian footballer. He was capped 34 times for Ghana, scoring 17 goals and playing at three African Cup of Nations and three Summer Olympics. At the 1965 African Cup of Nations, he was the joint-top goalscorer, tied with teammate Ben Acheampong and Ivory Coast's Eustache Manglé.[3]
It is believed he turned down a financial incentive to play in Europe in 1969. After retiring from football, he became a priest.[4]
