Maki (巻町 Maki-machi?) was a town located in the Nishikanbara District, Niigata Prefecture, Japan.
Maki literally means "meadow", although the name of this town is written as "scroll" by a homonym to distinguish from another Maki in the same prefecture. The town had no special relationship with the other town.
The population of Maki, as of April 2005, was 29,039.
The town was established as a village in 1889 by merging Shimo-maki Village and others, then promoted to a town in 1891.
On January 1, 2006, Maki was merged into the expanded city of Niigata. As of April 1, 2007, the area is part of the Nishi-ku and Nishikan-ku Wards.
