Tamagaki Gakunosuke IV (1784 – August 29, 1824) was Japanese sumo wrestler. His highest rank was Ozeki. Kashiwado Risuke was his rival.

He made a professional debut in 1806 and was promoted to the top makuuchi division in 1810. In April 1814, he was ranked at maegashira #1, but, in the next November 1814 tournament, he was ranked at Ozeki. The reason was that the banzuke (the sumo wrestlers' hierarchy) changed to that based on real ability.
In June 1823, Tamagaki and Kashiwado were awarded yokozuna licences by the Gojo family. However, after Kashiwado rejected the licence, he also rejected this. In the next year, he died while being an active wrestler.
In the top makuuchi division, he won only four tournament, but his win ratio finally reached .815. Kashiwado won 16 tournaments, but he recorded the win ratio .810.
*2 tournaments were held yearly in this period, though the actual time they were held was often erratic
*Championships from this period were unofficial
*There was no fusensho system until March 1927
*All top division wrestlers were usually absent on the 10th day until 1909
*In April 1819, March 1820 and October 1822, he was tied with east ozeki Kashiwado Risuke, so several historians include those championships
