Araki Mataemon (荒木 又右衛門?, 1584 – October 5, 1637)[1] was a Japanese samurai active in the early Edo period. Araki Mataemon was the founder of the koryū martial art Yagyū Shingan-ryū, known sometimes as Yagyū Shingan-ryū Taijutsu.

Araki Matemon studied Yagyū Shinkage-ryū under Yagyū Munenori[1] and later received permission[1] by Yagyū Jūbei to use the Yagyū family-name in the Yagyū Shingan-ryū.
