Area 28 (Japanese: エリア２８ Area 28) is an animated series-exclusive location in the Unova region. It exists along Route 4 and is notorious for UFO sightings.

Professor Icarus lived there after he quit his job as a university professor in order to work on ways to manipulate dark matter. It was also where he encountered Elgyem, a Pokémon considered to be extraterrestrial.

Area 28 is largely desert, with one diner and Professor Icarus's laboratory the main points of interest.
