Nomi Munekatsu (乃美 宗勝, Nomi Munekatsu) (1527–1592) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku through Azuchi-Momoyama periods who served as a naval commander of the Mōri clan and directly as Kobayakawa Takakage's retainer.[1] He was a commander of Kagi Castle.[1]

He helped bring the waterborne Murakami family into the Môri's camp during the campaign that culminated in the Battle of Miyajima.[1] He fought in numerous battles between 1587 and 1592. His tomb is at Sōshō-ji Temple(宗勝寺) near the Tachibanayama Castle in Fukuoka Prefecture.[2]
