Kurimoto (栗源町 Kurimoto-machi) was a town located in Katori District, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
Kurimoto Village was established on April 1, 1889. It was raised to town status on April 10, 1924.
On March 27, 2006 Kurimoto was merged with the towns of Omigawa and Yamada, from Katori District, and the old city of Sawara, to form the new city of Katori, and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality.
In November 2005 (the last data available before its merger into Katori), the town had an estimated population of 5,179 and a population density of 178 persons per km². Its total area was 29.05 km².
