Ikeda (池田, Ikeda) is a port and former town, now a part of Shōdoshima Town, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is located midway along the south coast of Shōdoshima, the second-largest island in the Seto Inland Sea. The port is one of three on the island with passenger service to Takamatsu, the prefecture capital.[1]

The community was designated a village in 1889, upgraded to a town in 1929, and merged with the villages of Nibu and Mito in 1954.[2] In 2006, as part of nationwide mergers, Ikeda and the town of Uchinomi (both from Shōzu District) were merged to create the new town of Shōdoshima.[3] Ikeda is no longer an independent municipality.
