OpenNTPD是一个Unix系统网络时间协议（NTP）实现的守护进程，可以使计算机系统的本地时钟与远程NTP服务器同步。它也可以作为一个NTP兼容客户端的NTP服务器。
OpenNTPD作为OpenBSD计划的一部分，主要由亨宁·布劳尔负责开发。其设计目标包括安全（不可被利用）、易于配置、在大多数情况足够精确及可在BSD许可证下分发源代码。如OpenSSH，它另有一个单独的子项目来开发可移植版本，其为OpenBSD的版本添加了兼容性代码，且与主项目分开发布新版本。可移植版由达伦·塔克开发。最新的可移植版发布于2006年。该项目的开发者得到了一些来自OpenBSD基金会的资助。
OpenNTPD逐步调整系统时钟，如在64位Arch Linux系统上运行OpenNTPD输出示例所示：
