Kamitaira (上平村, Kamitaira-mura) was a village located in Higashitonami District, Toyama Prefecture, Japan.

In the early 16th century, a monk named Dōshū [ja] spread the Jōdo Shinshū.

A valuable old document left by Doshu still remains at Gyotokuji Temple [ja].

On November 1, 2004, Kamitaira, along with the towns of Fukuno, Inami and Jōhana, the villages of Inokuchi, Taira and Toga (all from Higashitonami District), and the town of Fukumitsu (from Nishitonami District), was merged to create the city of Nanto.
