Marugame Domain (丸亀藩, Marugame-han) was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, in what is now Kagawa Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. It was centered around Marugame Castle, and was ruled throughout much of its history by a cadet branch of the tozama daimyō Kyōgoku clan. Marugame Domain was dissolved in the abolition of the han system in 1871 and is now part of Kagawa Prefecture.[1][2][3]
