Torii Tadanori (鳥居 忠則, 1646–1689) was a Japanese daimyō of the early Edo period who ruled the Takatō Domain in Shinano Province (modern-day Nagano Prefecture).[1]

Tadanori was the son of Torii Tadaharu, the previous lord. He succeeded to family headship upon his father's death; however, he continued his father's draconian rule of the Takatō domain.[citation needed]

During the shogunate's investigation into a scandal involving Takatō retainer Takasaka Gonbei, Tadanori was ordered confined to Edo Castle; he committed suicide during his confinement.[1][additional citation(s) needed] The Takatō domain was confiscated from the Torii family; however, as the Torii family was a famed fudai family dating back to Torii Mototada, Tadanori's heir Tadateru was granted four districts in Noto Province, and made the lord of the Shimomura Domain.[citation needed]
