Kaneko Mino-no-kami (金子美濃守|) was a samurai and officer of the Numata Castle.

Kaneko plotted to ensure that his eldest sister's son, Numata, would ascend to the position of castle lord by killing the original castle lord. However, after the successful assassination, Numata had no choice but to flee the castle, eventually defecting to Sanada Masayuki. Under Mayasuki's orders, he was to await Kageyoshi at his castle and then assassinate him. This plan was successful.
