Oido () is an area in Siheung, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. As its name suggests, it was previously an island, but land reclamation projects in the 20th century led to it eventually joining the mainland.
== Etymology == The place's name is literally "crow's ears"; this is unrelated to the shape of the former island. Its original name was reportedly Ojilido ().
