Tokugawa Yoshimune (November 27, 1684 - July 12, 1751) was the eighth shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, known for his financial reform. He is best known for dismissing his conservative adviser Arai Hakuseki and instigating the Kyōhō reforms.

As the descendant of the Kii domain, he succeeded the post of the shogun in 1716, given that the main lineage lacked a legimate heir. In 1745, he retired, leaving his post to his son.
