Taira no Tadanori (平 忠度) (1144–1184) was a poet and military leader of the late Heian period of Japan.

He was the brother of clan head Taira no Kiyomori, and one of his generals in the Genpei War against the Minamoto.

[3] According to the Tale of the Heike, before fleeing the capital after a loss to the Minamoto, he visited Fujiwara no Shunzei to deliver a "hundred or so" poems.

The poem read:[4] In ruins now, the old capital Shiga by the waves, yet the wild cherries of Naga still bloom as before.

The poem read:[4]: 96 Evening drawing on, I'll take lodging in the shade of this tree, and make its blossoms my host for the night.
