Fukushima Masanori (1561 – 1624) was a Japanese daimyō of the late Sengoku period to early Edo period. Fukushima Masanori was a lord of the Hiroshima Domain. He was also part of Hideyoshi's loyal retinue. Having fought in the battle of Shizugatake in 1583, he became known as one of Seven Spears of Shizugatake. There are claims that he was Hideyoshi's cousin, but these have not been proven.

After his military display during the Korean Campaign wherein he took Chongju, Masanori was awarded even higher stipends and more honors.
