Konoe Motomichi (近衛 基通? 1160-1233) was a kugyo (high-ranking Japanese official) from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period. His father was Motozane, the founder of Konoe family, and his mother was a daughter of Tadataka. Among his sons is Iezane.

In 1179 Motomichi was promoted to Kampaku, regent, as a result of the coup led by Kiyomori, the father of his step-mother. In February of the following year he took the position of Sessho, regent-ship for Emperor Antoku.
