Ōnojō (大野城市 Ōnojō-shi?) is a area located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is mostly a southern suburb of the city of Fukuoka, and has a border to the northwest with the Hakata-ku area of the city. It also shares borders with Dazaifu and Kasuga, Umi, Chikushino, Nakagawa and Shime. The border with Umi is marked by the summit of Otoganiyama at 268 metres above sea level, a wide expanse of virtually unspoilt deciduous and bamboo forest, uninhabited except by the occasional snake. The Mikasa river flows through Ōnojō on its way to Hakata bay, with some of its tributaries originating in the mountains in the south.
As of 2008, the city has an estimated population of 93,822 and a population density of 3,490 persons per km². The total area is 26.88 km². The city was founded on April 1, 1972. The city flower is the Chinese bellflower, known in Japanese as kikyō.
JR Kyushu has a railway station named Ōnojō, five stops south of Hakata Station on the Kagoshima Main Line. The Nishitetsu Tenjin Ōmuta Line also serves the area.
There is a Daimonji festival in September, near the Madokapia culture centre. Like other parts of Fukuoka, homeless people can be found sleeping in some of the parks.
At the beginning of the 21st century the area has seen continued development partly due to good infrastructure, unlike more rural parts of the prefecture.
