Unakami (海上町 Unakami-machi?) was a town located in Kaijō District, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

Unikami was formed on March 31, 1954. through the merger of the villages of Takisato, Oumei, and Tsurumaki. On July 1, 2005 Unakami, along with the town of Hikata, from Katori District, and the town of Iioka, also from Kaijō District, was merged into the expanded city of Asahi, and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality.

In April 2005 (the last data available before its merger into Asahi), the town had an estimated population of 11,153 and a population density of 390 persons per km². Its total area was 28.59 km².
