Tomoe nage (巴投) is one of the traditional forty throws of jujutsu and Judo. It belongs to the third group (Sankyo) of the traditional throwing list, the traditional Gokyo (no waza),[1] and the current 67 Throws of Kodokan Judo.[2]

Tomoe nage is categorized as a front sacrifice technique or Mae-sutemi, because the technique is not a sweep or a trip and tori falls back in front of uke while throwing uke.[3] It is also one of Danzan Ryu's twenty throws in the Nagete list.
