Tsushima (津島町, Tsushima-chō) was a town located in Kitauwa District, Ehime Prefecture, Japan.

As of 2003, the town had an estimated population of 13,284 and a density of 60.10 persons per km². The total area was 221.05 km².

On August 1, 2005, Tsushima, along with the towns of Mima and Yoshida (all from Kitauwa District), was merged into the expanded city of Uwajima.

Tsushima is known for the Iwamatsu River and the festival they have each year where people eat tiny, live fish.

Tsushima residents are also known for pearl farming and fish farming, as well as being part of the prefecture's mikan growing industry.

Nanryakuen Park is a beautiful place to go for a walk when you're there. There's also a children's amusement area called Playland across the street.
