Maeda Gen'i (前田 玄以, 1539 – July 9, 1602) was a Buddhist priest from Mt.

Hiei, retainer of Oda Nobunaga and later one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Go-Bugyō, along with Ishida Mitsunari, Asano Nagamasa, Mashita Nagamori and Natsuka Masaie.

In his youth, Gen’i entered the priesthood in Mino and either became a Zen priest or monk on Mount Hiei.

In 1582, during the Honnoji Incident, Gen’i was located, together with Nobutada, at the Nijō palace in Kyōto.

[1] In addition to managing a great deal of other affairs, Maeda also oversaw the reception of the likes of the Emperor and representatives of the Jesuits to Hideyoshi's Jurakudai palace.
