Akoko-Edo is a local government area in Edo State, Nigeria. Its headquarters is Igarra. It has an area of 1,371 km2 and a population of 262,110 at the 2006 census. It consists of the Akoko people, who are split into Ondo and Edo States. Most are recognized as Yoruba and bear names identical to their counterparts in Akoko Ondo. The Benin conquests during the reign of Oba Ozolua (1483–1504) established its first settlements in the region, while other people including the Bida, migrated there in search of fortune. The war which Oba Esigie fought with the Attah of Idah in 1515–1516, would have also contributed to the migration of the Igbirra and Idah from the north and the east into the area.
The postal code of the area is 312.
As of 2016, its population density is 249.9/km2.
The first local government chairman is Chief Joshua B. Mayaki.
