Itami (Japanese: 伊丹市; -shi) is a city located in Hyogo, Japan.
As of 2003, the city has an estimated population of 192,289 and a population density of 7,706.97 persons per km². The total area is 24.95 km².
The center of Itami became a wealthy town by the middle of Sengoku period. It was named Itami-go(town of Itami) and known as the only Japanese town within a castle (usually Japanese castles were located far from domestic areas). Itami-go was a part of Castle Arioka which Araki Murashige ruled under Oda Nobunaga. After the rebellion and defeat of Araki, the castle was destroyed.
The current city was founded on November 10, 1940. Large portions of the city were destroyed in the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995, but were quickly rebuilt.
Most of Osaka International Airport is located in Itami (hence the common name "Itami Airport"): it is Osaka's primary domestic airport, although all international flights and many domestic flights moved to Kansai International Airport in 1994.
