En lingüística, el caso oblicuo u objetivo es un caso gramatical que se emplea normalmente en un sustantivo o pronombre que no es el sujeto de la oración. Un caso oblicuo puede aparecer en cualquier declinación excepto en el caso nominativo que es el sujeto de una oración o en el caso vocativo. También contrasta con el caso ergativo, que se emplea en lenguas ergativas para sustantivos que son actores directamente implicados; en lenguas ergativas, se utiliza el mismo caso para el objeto directo y para el sujeto paciente.

In grammar, an oblique (abbreviated OBL; from Latin: casus obliquus) or objective case (abbr. OBJ), is a nominal case that is used when a noun phrase is the object of either a verb or a preposition. A noun or pronoun in the oblique case can generally appear in any role except as subject, for which the nominative case is used. The term "objective case" is generally preferred by modern English grammarians.When the two terms are contrasted, they differ in the ability of a word in the oblique case to function as a possessive attributive; whether English has an oblique rather than an objective case then depends on how "proper" or widespread one considers the dialects where such usage is employed. An oblique case often contrasts with an unmarked case, as in English oblique him and them vs. nominative he and they. However, the term oblique is also used for languages without a nominative case, such as ergative–absolutive languages; in the Northwest Caucasian languages, for example, the oblique-case marker serves to mark the ergative, dative, and applicative case roles, contrasting with the absolutive case, which is unmarked.
