Sanada Yukinori (真田幸教, January 30, 1836 – November 21, 1869) was the 7th Sanada daimyō of Matsushiro Domain in Shinano Province, Honshū, Japan (modern-day Nagano Prefecture), under the Bakumatsu period Tokugawa shogunate.

He assumed the duties of daimyō in 1852; however, the following year, the Perry Expedition landed at Uraga, demanding an end to Japan's national isolation policy.

Matsushiro Domain was ordered to provide troops to guard the approaches to Edo from the south, and subsequently to guard Yokohama and to build and man the No.6 gun battery in Edo Bay.

Due to Yukinori's youth and poor health, he was barely able to prevent open conflict within the domain, and although the domain had a prominent reformer, Sakuma Shōzan, Yukinori was unable to prevent his assassination.

Unwilling to go, he decided to retire and in 1866, after reviewing several possible candidates, selected the eldest son of Date Munenari of Uwajima Domain as his heir.
