Katagiri Tametsugu (片桐 為次; 1641 – 1655) was a Japanese daimyō of the early Edo period.[1] Born in 1641, he was the eldest son of Katagiri Tamemoto. In 1654 he succeeded his father as the fourth head of the Katagiri clan and lord of the Tatsuta Domain in Yamato Province. He died in 1655 at the age of 15. Having left no heir, the domain was abolished, however, his younger brother Katsuteru continued the family line as a hatamoto.[2][3]
