Momoishi (百石町, Momoishi-machi^?) was a town located in Kamikita District in central Aomori Prefecture, Japan. On March 1, 2006 Momoishi was merged into the neighboring town of Shimoda to form the new town of Oirase, and thus it no longer exists as an independent municipality.

Momoishi Village was founded on April 1, 1889. On April 20, 1929 it was elevated to town status.

Bordering the Pacific Ocean, the town had an agriculture-based economy based on commercial fishing and the production of rice, strawberries and Japanese yams. The major local industry was Momokawa Brewing, Inc, a nationally-known sake brewer.

At the time of its merger, Momoishi had an estimated population of 9,970 and a density of 465 persons per km². The total area was 21.44 km².

Momoishi was served by Route 45 (Japan) and Route 338 (Japan) highways, but had no train service.
