Nishina Morinobu (仁科盛信? 1557-March 25, 1582) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period. Born the 5th son of Takeda Shingen (by Lady Yukawa), he was also known as Takeda Harukiyo. Morinobu was adopted into the Nishina family of Shinano in 1561.
When Morinobu came of age, he defended Takato Castle in Shinano Province, along with one of his allies, Oyamada Masayuki, against the Oda army in the year of 1582. Before he committed suicide prior to the fall of the castle, he told attacking Oda soldiers of his prediction of Oda Nobunaga's death, which soon came to pass.
