Iwaki (岩木町 Iwaki-machi) was a town located in Nakatsugaru District in southern Aomori Prefecture, Japan.
Iwaki was located in southwestern Tsugaru Peninsula, in the foothills of Mount Iwaki. The area was part of Hirosaki Domain during the Edo period. After the Meiji Restoration, Iwaki Village was created in 1889. On February 1, 2006 it was merged with the neighboring village of Sōma into the city of Hirosaki, and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality.
At the time of its merger, Iwaki had an estimated population of 11,868 and a density of 81.15 persons per km². The total area was 146.25 km². The town economy was dominated by agriculture and forestry.
