Tsutsui (野内村, Tsutsui-machi) was a town located in Higashitsugaru District in central Aomori Prefecture, Japan. It is now a neighborhood of the city, Aomori.
Nonai was created by a merger of the villages of Tsutsui, Kobata, Ura, and Hamada on April 1, 1889. The village was elevated to a town in 1952. The town was annexed by Aomori on January 1, 1955, along with several other municipalities.
