Maeda Yoshinori (前田吉徳, September 10, 1690 – July 11, 1745) was a Japanese samurai during the Edo period, and the 5th daimyō of Kaga Domain in the Hokuriku region.
Spending had been profligate under the tenure of Tsunanori, partly to offset suspicions of the wealth of Kaga Domain by the Tokugawa shogunate.
Yoshinori appointed one of his favourites, Ōtsuki Denzō, of ashigaru background, as his senior economic advisor and implemented an unpopular program of cutting expenses, curbing speculation in the rice market, and passing sumptuary consumption rules.
Under this program, the domain's financial situation improved considerably, and Yoshinori appointed Ōtsuki to ever greater positions of authority.
This caused great resentment amongst the senior retainers and on the death of Yoshinori in 1745 at the age of 56, there was a conservative backlash which upended many of the reforms.
