Mizuno Tadakuni (水野忠邦?) (July 19, 1794 - March 12, 1851) was a Japanese daimyo of the late Edo period, who ruled the Karatsu and then Hamamatsu Domains. He was the chief senior councilor (rōju) in service to the Tokugawa Shogunate, and is remembered for having instituted the Tenpo Reform. Part of these reforms included the Agechi-rei which was to have daimyō in the vicinity of Edo and Ōsaka surrender their holdings for equal amounts of land elsewhere, thereby consolidating Tokugawa control over these strategically vital areas. However, this was to prove greatly unpopular amongst daimyō of all ranks and income levels, and consequently Mizuno was to lose favor and his position in the government. After the loss of his position, he was exiled to the Yamagata Domain, in Dewa Province, he died there, one day before word of his release would have reached him.
Before his elevation to the rōju, he had served successfully as Osaka jōdai in 1825. [1]
He was succeeded by his son Tadakiyo, who was also an important figure in the late Tokugawa shogunate.
