Kagawa Chikakazu (香川親和?) (1567-1587) was a Japanese samurai from the clan of Chosokabe during the Sengoku Period of the 16th century.

Chikakazu was the second son of the famous Chosokabe Motochika and was adopted into the Kagawa clan during the year of 1581, succeeding the position of Kagawa Nobukage. When Chikakazu attained successorship, he received the Amagiri Castle in Sanuki Province.

When Chikakazu's elder brother, Chosokabe Nobuchika died in battle during the year of 1586, Chikakazu became the potential heir to the Chosokabe house. Toyotomi Hideyoshi even approved Chikakazu becoming the successor of Motochika.

However, Motochika refused this action, and instead wanted his fourth son, Chosokabe Morichika to be his successor. Despondent and bitter, Chikakazu retired to a secular life, and died the following year. It is thought that Motochika had him given to another house and not kept on as a possible heir due to his weak constitution.
