Kanagi (金木町, Kanagi-machi) was a town located in Kitatsugaru District in western Aomori Prefecture, Japan.

The town was also known as the birthplace of famed author Osamu Dazai.

On March 28, 2005, Kanagi, along with the neighboring village of Shiura (also from Kitatsugaru District), was merged into the expanded city of Goshogawara, and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality.

The town economy was dominated by commercial fishing and agriculture.

Kanagi was located in the center of the Tsugaru Peninsula, in an area known for severe winter weather conditions and blizzards.
