Wakinosawa (脇野沢村, Wakinosawa-mura) was a village located in Shimokita District in northern Aomori Prefecture, Japan.

On March 14, 2005, Wakinosawa, along with the neighboring towns of Kawauchi and Ōhata (all from Shimokita District), was merged into the neighboring and expanded city of Mutsu, and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality.

Located at the southwestern tip of Shimokita Peninsula facing Mutsu Bay, the village of Wakinosawa had an economy based primarily on commercial fishing.

Wakinosawa was served by Route 338 (Japan) highway, but had no railway service.

Ferries connect the fishing port with Aomori and Kanita on the opposite side of Mutsu Bay.
