Øymark is a former municipality now located in Marker municipality in Østfold county, Norway.

Øymark was originally a part of Aremark formannskapsdistrikt (from 1837), but on 1 July 1903 Øymark was separated from Aremark to form a separate municipality. At that point Øymark had a population of 1,832. On 1 January 1964 Øymark was merged with Rødenes to form the new municipality of Marker. Before the merger Øymark had a population of 2,091.

The name

Until 1918 the name has been written Ømark. The Norse form of the name was Øyjamörk. The first element is (probably) the genitive case of the old name of Øymarksjøen (Norse *Øyi), the last element is mörk f 'woodland, borderland'. The old name of the lake is derived from øy f 'flat and fertil land along a waterside'.
