Oitylo (), is a village on the Mani Peninsula of the Peloponnese in southern Greece. It has a land area of 218.582 km2.

Oitylo is one of the oldest settlements in the Mani Peninsula. It was mentioned in the Iliad by Homer as Oetylus (), as part of Menelaus' kingdom. In the Middle Ages, it grew to become the most important town in Mani. The only town in Mani that rivaled Oitylos in numbers of pirates was Skoutari.
