Achi no Omi (阿知使主; 3rd–5th century CE) also known Achikishi (阿知吉師) as well as Achiki (阿直岐) or Achi no Ō (阿智王), was the legendary founder of the Yamatonoaya clan, an immigrant clan in ancient Japan who hailed from the kingdom of Paekche with his son Tsuka no Omi (都加使主). He is not to be confused with another individual named "Achi no Omi (安致臣)" found in the Nihon Shoki.

He is considered one of the three most influential Toraijins alongside Yuzuki no Kimi and Wani during the Kofun period.
