Inaba Yoshimichi (稲葉 良通; 1515 – January 5, 1589), also known as Inaba Ittetsu (稲葉 一鉄), was a Japanese samurai warrior during the Sengoku period. He served the Saitō clan of Mino province. Later, he became a retainer of Oda Nobunaga.
His childhood name was Hikoshiro (彦四郎) later Hikoroku (彦六郎). Yoshimichi was considered one of the "Mino Triumvirate" (西美濃三人衆, Nishi Mino Sanninshū), along with Andō Michitari and Ujiie Bokuzen. In 1567, they agreed together to join the forces of Oda Nobunaga.
He took part in the Siege of Inabayama Castle (1567) and participated in the Battle of Anegawa (1570), leading the reserve troops of Oda Nobunaga's forces. Later, he fought in the Siege of Ishiyama-Honganji, Siege of Ichijodani Castle, Siege of Nagashima, Battle of Nagashino, and Kaga campaign under Shibata Katsuie.
His son, Inaba Masanari, was the husband of Saitō Fuku. Ittetsu himself lived and went into the service of Hideyoshi Toyotomi, serving at the Battle of Shizugatake and the Battle of Komaki-Nagakute before dying in 1589.
