Lorentz invariance is a well known fundamental concept of special relativity but its violation is predicted by some variations of quantum gravity, string theory, and some alternatives to general relativity. We study neutrino oscillation at the presence of the Lorentz invariance violation in vacuum, normal and nuclear media. It is shown that for very high energy neutrinos the neutrino oscillations due to mass difference is suppressed and its contribution to the conversion probability is negligibly small, but the contribution of the Lorentz invariance violation term is not zero. This means that the observation of very high energy neutrino oscillations may be a signal of the discreteness of space and Lorentz invariance violation.
