Komaki, city, northwestern Aichi ken (prefecture), central Honshu, Japan. It is situated in the eastern Nōbi Plain, north of Nagoya. A narrow extension of the city’s northeastern area reaches into the mountainous terrain at the edge of the plain.

Komaki was a post town during the Edo (Tokugawa) period (1603–1867) and an agricultural trade centre for the surrounding region. The city later developed as a residential suburb of Nagoya. Komaki’s most-rapid industrial growth was between 1965 and the early 1970s, when more than 100 factories were built, producing largely pottery, rubber, machines, and fibres. Nagoya Airport is south of the city. Pop. (2006) 147,182; (2010) 147,132.
