Not to be confused with Toyohara Chikanobu, the print artist of the Utagawa school.

Matsuno Chikanobu (松野親信)(fl. 1720s) was a Japanese painter of the Kaigetsudō school of ukiyo-e. Believed to be one of the most popular painters of his time, his work, very much in the Kaigetsudō style, consists largely of bijinga (pictures of beautiful ladies) and features bright colors and exquisite kimono fashions.

He is believed to have worked closely with Eishun, another Kaigetsudō artist whose style shows significant similarities.
