Date Tsunamura (伊達綱村, 29 April 1659 – 5 August 1719) was an early Edo period Japanese samurai, and the 4th daimyō of Sendai Domain in northern Japan, and the 20h hereditary chieftain of the Date clan. Tsunamura's succession led to the Date Sōdō or "Date Disturbance" of 1671, which has been retold in theatre, and has become one of the more well-known tales of unrest and disunity among the daimyō of the Edo period.
