The Soga clan (Japanese: 曾我氏, Soga-shi) was a samurai family from Sagami Province descending from the Taira clan. Best known for the Soga brothers and their participation in the Revenge of the Soga Brothers incident of the early Kamakura period, they later became high-ranking military officials under the Ashikaga Shogunate during the Muromachi period. During the Edo period, they continued their military service and served the Tokugawa Shogunate. The clan is not related to the Soga clan (蘇我氏) of the Yamato period.
