Onie was an unincorporated community in Wetzel County, West Virginia. It was also known as Unie.

Near Wileyville, Onie was located at the mouth of Honey Run which is a tributary of Little Fishing Creek. [2] Although this town appeared on a few maps, Onie disappeared shortly after it first appeared. According to local memories, Onie had a bar, a blacksmith, and a hotel. [2]

Around 1900, Onie was an oil boom town. Oil production peaked in West Virginia by 1900, when the state ranked second in oil production, and Onie declined after that. [2] As of 2008, East Resources still had a field office and wells at this location, but the fields had been used for hay instead of oil for a long time after Onie vanished.
