The Mizoguchi clan (溝口氏, Mizoguchi-shi) was a Japanese samurai clan who rose to prominence under the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate. The main branch of the clan ruled as daimyō of Shibata Domain in Echigo Province (100,000 koku) until the Meiji restoration, and was subsequently unbowed with the kazoku peerage title of hakushaku (count).
