Kabayama Hisataka (1560 to 1634), formally Kabayama Gonzaemon Hisataka, was a Japanese samurai of the early Edo period. He served the Shimazu clan as a retainer, a senior advisor (karo) and a senior deputy commander. Born into the fifth generation of the Shimazu family line, he took Kabayama as his surname after the birch-covered mountaintop on which his castle domain had been built. He is remembered above all for 1609, when he led the military forces of the Shimazu clan against the Kingdom of Ryukyu in the Invasion of Ryukyu, a campaign that succeeded. The article names Hirata Masumune and Kabayama Sukenori as related figures.
