Kyōsuke Kindaichi (金田一 京助, Kindaichi Kyōsuke, May 5, 1882 – November 14, 1971) was a Japanese linguist, chiefly known for his dictations of yukar, or sagas of the Ainu people, as well as his study of the Matagi dialect.

He was active as a poet and had good contacts with Ishikawa Takuboku.

A fictionalised Kindaichi appears in the anime Woodpecker Detective's Office.
