Viscount Toshisada Maeda (前田 利定, Maeda Toshisada, 10 December 1874 – 2 October 1944) was a Japanese politician who was Minister of Communications and Minister of Agriculture and Commerce in the pre-war Empire of Japan.

He retired from public life in January 1944, and died in October of the same year.

His daughter married post-war Foreign Minister Katsuo Okazaki.
