Kanbukan (韓武舘, roughly translated as "Hall of Korean Martial Arts" or "Korean Martial Hall") was one of the earliest Karate organizations made in Post-War Japan and is considered the birthplace of the Bōgutsuki Karate.

Kanbukan itself was a dojo that existed for only five to six years, but its influence on history of Karate and combat sports in general is immense. Its legacy is carried by various successor organizations, including JKF Renbukai.
