We report a very large anisotropy in the dc conductivity of epitaxial VO<sub>2</sub> thin films deposited on a single-crystal (100) TiO<sub>2</sub> substrate. There was a large tensile strain along the $c$-axis and a compressive strain along the $a$-axis of rutile VO<sub>2</sub> due to the lattice mismatch between VO<sub>2</sub> and TiO<sub>2</sub>. The in-plane conductivity was measured along $\langle 010\rangle$ and $\langle 001\rangle$ of VO<sub>2</sub>, and it is found that the conductivity anisotropy ratio $\sigma_{\langle 001\rangle}/\sigma_{\langle 010\rangle}$ was 41.5 at 300 K, much larger than that of single-crystal VO<sub>2</sub>.
