Odanah (Ojibwe: Oodena) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Ashland County, Wisconsin, in the town of Sanborn, United States, on the banks of the Bad River. The population was 47 at the 2020 census.[3]

Odanah is the cultural and administrative center of the Bad River Chippewa Band of the Chippewa.[5]

For statistical purposes, the U.S. Census Bureau distinguishes Odanah from New Odanah, which has most of the community's population. In local parlance, the names are used interchangeably. Official state and county maps from the Wisconsin DOT only show Odanah.[6][7]
