Utsunomiya no Nobufusa (1156–1234) was a warrior of the late Heian and early Kamakura periods, the eldest son of Nakahara no Munefusa and founder of the Buzen Utsunomiya, later called the Kii clan. In 1180 he rode from Shimotsuke to join Minamoto no Yoritomo's rising, and in 1183 won distinction suppressing a revolt.

As Chinzei commissioner he campaigned against Taira remnants on Kikaigashima in 1187, and in 1192 Yoritomo granted him estates in Bungo and Hyūga. He died in 1234.
