Nwagboka , or Onye-isi Ikporo-Onicha (died 1886) was a Nigerian queen, the last omu (Queen) of Onitsha.

In 1886 she led the Ikporo Onitsha (association of Onitsha wives) in a strike against Obi Anazonwu. This all-woman boycott of social duties was intended "to remind the community that no society can function without the duties and tasks performed by its women."
