Kōriki Tadafusa (高力忠房, Kōriki Tadafusa^?) (1584 - January 7, 1656) was a Japanese daimyo of the Azuchi-Momoyama period and Edo periods. A native of Tōtōmi Province, Tadafusa served the Tokugawa clan in the early decades of the Edo period.

Tadafusa was born in Hamamatsu in 1584. However, as his father Masanaga died young, he was raised by his grandfather Kiyonaga. He inherited the lordship of the Iwatsuki Domain from his grandfather, and shortly afterward, joined Tokugawa Hidetada's army during the Sekigahara campaign. In the wake of Sekigahara, Mashita Nagamori was entrusteed to Tadafusa's care.

Tadafusa also took part in the Siege of Osaka. In the wake of the Shimabara Rebellion, he was granted the Shimabara Domain; however, as his son Takanaga died heirless, the family line came to an end and the domain was confiscated.
