Oink's Pink Palace (OiNK) was a prominent BitTorrent tracker located at http://www.oink.cd, previously http://oink.me.uk. On October 23, 2007 it was shut down by IFPI, BPI, and other organizations.

The site was an invite-only BitTorrent community, with a membership of around 180,000 members at the time of closure. It was mainly oriented around sharing full music albums in high-bitrate and FLAC, but also tracking other files such as e-books.

According to the International Federation of Pirate Interests, OiNK was the largest source of leaked albums in the world, claiming that it was responsible for leaking more than 60 major album releases in 2007 alone.
