Kuroda Nagatomo (黒田 長知?); (February 2, 1838-January 7, 1902)- Japanese samurai of the late Edo period, who served as the last daimyō of Fukuoka han. Adopted into the family, he was born the 2nd son of Tōdō Takayuki, lord of the Tsu han. A pro-Chōshū figure during the tumultuous Bakumatsu era, he allied with the new government in the Boshin War. Nagatomo was subsequently made a member of the new nobility in the Meiji Era.
Passing on the headship to his son Kuroda Naganari in 1878, Nagatomo died in Tokyo in 1902, at age 65.
