The Kishū Tokugawa family (紀州徳川家, Kishū Tokugawa-ke) is a branch of the Tokugawa clan based in Kii Province.

The family was founded in 1619, when Tokugawa Yorinobu, 10th son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, was appointed to rule Kii Province.

[1] As Kii Province was alternatively called Kishū (紀州), so the family is also known as the Kii Tokugawa family (紀伊徳川家, Kii Tokugawa-ke).
