Taira no Koremori (平維盛?) (1160 – 1184?) was one of the Taira clan's commanders in the Genpei War of the late Heian period of Japanese history. He was defeated at the battle of Fujigawa in 1180, and again at the battle of Kurikara. In 1184, he fled from the battle of Yashima, and is said to have committed suicide.
