Bosanska Otoka or just Otoka is a town on the river Una in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is part of the Bosanska Krupa municipality of the Una-Sana Canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The town was once known as Otok, the local word for island. It lies on the ancient Roman road from the Podunavlje-region to the Adriatic Sea

Before the Bosnian War, the entire town was part of the Bosanska Krupa municipality, but after the Dayton Peace Agreement one part of the inhabited area of Otoka became Otoka, Krupa na Uni, a part of municipality Krupa na Uni, divided by the Inter-Entity Boundary Line.
