Hiroaki Fushimi (伏見宮 博明王, Fushimi-no-miya Hiroaki-ō, born 26 January 1932) is a former Japanese prince, the only son of Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi and 24th head of the Fushimi-no-miya shinnōke (one of the four branch houses of the Imperial Family of Japan).

[citation needed] In terms of succession to the Japanese throne, Hiroaki Fushimi is a 16th cousin, thrice removed, of Emperor Naruhito.

Their most recent common ancestor in the paternal line was Prince Fushimi Sadafusa (1372–1456), who fathered Naruhito's forefather Emperor Go-Hanazono (1428–1464) and Hiroaki's forefather Prince Fushimi Sadatsune (1426–1474).

Despite the great distance, Hiroaki is the closest male-line relative to the current Imperial House, and has therefore figured in the Japanese succession debate as a possible successor to the throne in case all five male members of the Imperial House die without heirs.

His father, Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi (1897–1938) was a naval commander in the Imperial Japanese Navy, and died shortly after the opening stages of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937.
