Sagami-ji (酒見寺, or Sagami-dera), is a Shingon Buddhist temple in Kasai, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.

Emperor Shōmu ordered its construction in 745 (the 17th year of the Tenpyō era) at the request of Gyōki, a Buddhist priest.

Gyōki took the request to Emperor Shōmu, who then ordered the construction of Sagami-ji.

The main temple was burnt down in conflicts during 1578, and was not rebuilt until the daimyō of Himeji, Honda Tadamasa, agreed to aid the Ikeda clan in its reconstruction.
