Tansui Ueekata (湛水親方, 2 July 1623 – 26 January 1684) was an aristocrat-bureaucrat of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
He was also a famous musician credited with the creation of Tansui-ryū (湛水流), an important music genre of Ryukyu culture.
His karana was Ka Tokuyō (夏 徳庸), and yamatona was Kōchi Ueekata Kenchū (幸地 親方 賢忠) respectively.
He was appointed as odori bugyō (踊奉行, Magistrate of Dance) in 1672 and danced kumi odori for the entertainment of the Chinese envoys.
Shō Shōken totally denied the traditional culture of the Ryukyuan people, and was strongly opposed by Tansui Ueekata.
