Introduction Dontchev [1] introduced the notions of contra continuity and strong S-closedness in topological spaces. He defined a function f : X →Y is contra continuous if the preimage of every open set of Y is closed in X . A new weaker form of this class of functions called contra semicontinuous function is introduced and investigated by Dontchev and Noiri [2]. Caldas and Jafari [3] have introduced and studied contra β -continuous function. Jafri and Noiri [4, 5] introduced and investigated the notions of contra super continuous, contra precontinuous, and contra α-continuous functions. Almost contra precontinuous functions were introduced by Ekici [6] and recently have been investigated further by Noiri and Popa [7]. Nasef [8] has introduced and studied contra γ-continuous function. In This direction, we will introduce the concept of almost contra ω-continuous func- tions via the notion of ω-open set and study some properties of contra ω-continuous and almost contra ω-continuous.
