Fujioka (藤岡町 Fujioka-chō ?) is a former town located in Nishikamo District, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. As of December 1, 2004, the town had an estimated population of 19,239 and a population density of 293.4 persons per km². Its total area was 65.58 km².

Fujioka was located in north-central Aichi Prefecture.

During the early Meiji period cadastral reforms, the villages of Tomioka and Fujikawa were established on October 1, 1889. The two villages merged to form the village of Fujioka on April 1, 1906. The village was raised to town status on April 1, 1978.

On April 1, 2005 Fujioka, along with the village of Obara, also from Nishikamo District, and the towns of Asuke, Asahi and Inabu, and village of Shimoyama, from Higashikamo District, was merged into the city of Toyota, and Fujioka ceased to exist as an independent administrative division.
