Oko Town is an Igbo speaking town in south eastern Nigeria. It is one of the 16 towns that make up the geopolitical area called Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra state. It is the major economic town of the local government largely dependent on a very large student community and staff strength of the Federal Polytechnic, Oko.

Oko (spelt locally as Oko) is regarded as a citadel of learning due to the start of western educations and establishment of first polytechnic in the old Anambra (present Anambra, Enugu and part of Ebonyi) State in the town. It is also widely recognized because of its erosion site which has baffled geologists for many years and records have it that it is supposedly deeper than the Grand Canyon.
