Io (uitspraak met één lettergreep: Jo) is de binnenste van de vier grote manen van de planeet Jupiter.De maan werd op 8 januari 1610 door Galileo Galilei ontdekt. Simon Marius, die ook de ontdekking opeiste, noemde de maan naar Io, de mythologische dochter van de riviergod Inachus. Deze maan wordt vanwege haar uiterlijk ook wel de pizzamaan genoemd.
