The Tajihi clan (多治比氏 Tajihi-uji; also written as 多治, 丹比, 丹治, 丹墀) was a Japanese noble family. They were most prominent in the early Nara period, when they furnished several senior officers of the central government, before they were gradually driven out of the centre of power by the rival Fujiwara clan.
