Kan'ami Kiyotsugu (観阿弥 清次, 1333 – June 8, 1384) was a Japanese Noh actor, author, and musician during the Muromachi period.
He is the father of the well-known playwright Zeami Motokiyo (世阿弥 元清).
Kan'ami's career began in Obata, Nabari-shi, Mie when he founded a sarugaku theater group in the Kansai region on the main Honshu island.
He grew in popularity and began making trips to Kyoto to give performances.
In 1374, the shōgun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was in the audience of a performance and was so impressed by it that he became Kan'ami's patron.
