Kakeromajima (加計呂麻島) or Kakeroma-tō[1] is one of the Satsunan Islands, classed with the Amami archipelago between Kyūshū and Okinawa.

After the Meiji Restoration it was incorporated into Ōsumi Province and later became part of Kagoshima Prefecture.

During World War II, the island was fortified and garrisoned by the Japanese military, and served as an occasional anchorage for ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy and in the final stages of the war, as a base for Shinyo-class suicide motorboats.

Anti-aircraft batteries on Kakeromajima shot down 18 Allied aircraft attempting to bomb neighboring Amami-Oshima.

Following World War II, although with the other Amami Islands, Kakeromajima was occupied by the United States until 1953, at which time it reverted to the control of Japan.
