Ōoka Tadasuke (Japanese: 大岡 忠相, 1677 – 3 February 1752) was a Japanese samurai in the service of the Tokugawa shogunate. During the reign of Tokugawa Yoshimune, as a magistrate (machi-bugyōcode: jpn promoted to code: ja ) of Edo, his roles included chief of police, judge and jury, and Yamada Magistrate (Yamada bugyōcode: jpn promoted to code: ja ) prior to his tenure as South Magistrate (Minami Machi-bugyō) of Edo. With the title Echizen no Kami (Governor of Echizen or Lord of the Echizen), he is often known as Ōoka Echizen (大岡越前). He was highly respected as an incorruptible judge. In addition, he established the first fire brigade made up of commoners, and the Koishikawa Yojosho (a city hospital). Later, he advanced to the position of jisha bugyōcode: jpn promoted to code: ja , and subsequently became daimyōcode: jpn promoted to code: ja of the Nishi-Ōhira Domain (10,000 koku).
