Kotogahama Sadao (Jap 琴ヶ濵貞雄) (10 October 1927 - 7 June 1981) was a sumo wrestler from Kanonji, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan.
He reached the second highest rank of ozeki in 1958. He was a tournament runner-up in the top makuuchi division on five occasions and earned seven kinboshi for defeating yokozuna when ranked as a maegashira. After his retirement in 1962 he became an elder of the Japan Sumo Association and worked as a coach at Sadogatake stable. He was offered the chance to take charge of the stable in 1974 but declined, preferring to remain as an assistant coach there until his death in 1981.
