Yokohama Specie Bank (横浜正金銀行, Yokohama Shōkin Ginkō) was a Japanese bank, founded in Yokohama, Japan in 1880. In 1946, it was reorganized and rebranded as the Bank of Tokyo, later part of MUFG Bank.

The Yokohama Specie Bank played a significant role in Japanese overseas trade and colonial ventures, not least in Manchuria and elsewhere in China.[2]
