Nishine (西根町, Nishine-chō) was a town located in Iwate District, Iwate Prefecture, Japan.

The villages of Tairadate, Ōbuke, Dendō and Terada were created on April 1, 1889 within Kita-Iwate District with the establishment of the municipality system.

The four villages merged on September 30, 1956 to create the village of Nishine, which was elevated to town status on November 1, 1961.

On September 1, 2005, Nishine, along with the town of Ashiro, and the village of Matsuo (all from Iwate District), was merged to create the city of Hachimantai and no longer exists as an independent municipality.
