Oenoanda or Oinoanda (Hittite: 𒃾𒅀𒉌𒌓𒉿𒀭𒁕 Wiyanawanda, Greek: τὰ Οἰνόανδα) was a Lycian city, in the upper valley of the River Xanthus. It is noted for the philosophical inscription by the Epicurean, Diogenes of Oenoanda.

The ruins of the city lie on a high isolated site west of the modern village İncealiler in the Fethiye district of Muğla Province, Turkey, which partly overlies the ancient site.

The place name suggests that it was known for viticulture.[1]
