Nangō (南郷村 Nangō-mura?) was a village located in Sannohe District in central Aomori Prefecture, Japan.

An inland village, Nangō had an agriculture-based economy. At the time of its merger, Nangō had an estimated population of 6,440 and a density of 70.67 persons per km². The total area was 91.13 km².
