Onamia (/oʊˈneɪmiːə/ oh-NAYM-ee-ə) is a city in Mille Lacs County, Minnesota, USA. The population was 878 at the 2010 census.[6] It is the town nearest to Camp Onomia, a Lutheran summer camp. Originally, the City of Onamia was organized from merger of two communities: Village of Onamia (Ojibwe: Onamanii-zaaga'iganiing) and the Village of Ericksonville (Ojibwe: Gibaakwa'igaansing). Both the City and the Village of Onamia are named after Lake Onamia, of which "Onamia" is derived from the Ojibwe onaman meaning "red ochre" (or locally as "vermilion"). The Village of Ericksonville was incorporated in 1898, while the Village of Onamia was incorporated in 1908.

U.S. Highway 169 and Minnesota Highway 27 are two of the main arterial routes in the community.
