Tomika (富加町 Tomika-chō?) is a town located in Kamo District, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.

Tomika was originally established as a village in 1954, when the villages of Tomida (田) and Kajita (冶田) merged. It received town status in 1974. In 2003, there were discussions for the town to merge into the city of Minokamo, but those discussions were dissolved in 2004.

The Kawaura and Tsubo rivers flow through Tomika. The city is bordered by Seki to the west and Minokamo to the east. Mount Nashiwari (梨割山 Nashiwari-yama) is within the town's boundaries.
