Takamine Hideo (高嶺 秀夫, October 5, 1854 – February 22, 1910) was an administrator and educator in Meiji period Japan.

He was fortunate to attend Oswego during the very height of its fame as a progressive and innovative institution for teacher education.

[peacock prose] Takamine interacted with Edward Austin Sheldon, the director and founder of the school, and lived in the house of famed educator Johann Heinrich Hermann Krüsi (1817–1903).

During his time in the United States, he also attended Anderson School of Natural History on Penikese Island during the summer of 1877 and spent one semester studying under Burt Wilder, a famous zoologist at Cornell University.

After returning to Japan, Takamine worked as an assistant to American scientist Edward Sylvester Morse and accompanied him on a trek to the rugged areas of Hokkaidō which were occupied by the Ainu.
