Urakami Ietsune (浦上家恒, September 17, 1839 - December 21, 1901) was a Japanese statesman and Admiral during the Nōmin War and the War of the Yellow Sea, serving the Republic of Kyushu and later Republic of Japan. A descendant of the powerful Urakami Munekage, founder of the Urakami Shogunate, Ietsune came from a side branch of the main Urakami line. During his youth, he was sent to Great Britain in order to study Naval Strategy.
Upon returning to Japan, he learned of the Hosokawa Clan's coup and usurpation of the Shogunate, whereupon he decided to join the Daimyo Shimazu Hisamitsu instead. Due to his education, Ietsune was instrumental in the foundation and adaptation of Satsuma Domain's navy, overseeing the purchase of modern ships and the teaching of modern naval doctrine. When the Republic of Kyushu was declared in 1865, Ietsune lead reconnaissance missions in the East China Sea and Philippine Sea, training future naval officers and gaining first-hand experience of modern vessels.
Following his surprise victory at the battle of Shibushi Bay, Ietsune was promoted to Admiral of the fledgling Republican Navy. He subsequently lead sorties against Shogunate flotillas. Although the Nōmin War was not marked by many naval engagements, Ietsune was still seen as a crucial element of the Republican military.
