Okinoshima (隠岐の島町 Okinoshima-chō?) is a town located on Dōgo, one of the Oki Islands, in Shimane, Japan.

Japan considers the disputed Liancourt Rocks to be a part of Okinoshima.

As of January 2008, the town has an estimated population of 16,214. The total area is 242.97 km².

Oki Airport (OKI), a Class III facility with a 1991 m runway, is located within the town. It provides air service to Osaka International Airport ("Itami") and Izumo Airport.

The town is now co-extensive with the whole island of Dogo (including small offshore islets).

Okinoshima was formed from the merger of the town of Saigō, and the villages of Fuse, Goka and Tsuma on October 1, 2004, all from Oki District.

A set of two station bells designated as Important Cultural Property of Japan is located at the Oki family treasure hall (億岐家宝物館 Oki-ke Hōmotsu-kan?) in Okinoshima.
