Kuroda Nagatomo (黒田長知^?, February 2, 1838 – January 7, 1902) was a Japanese samurai of the late Edo period, who served as the last daimyō of Fukuoka han. He was adopted into the family and was born the second son of Tōdō Takayuki, lord of the Tsu han. A pro-Chōshū figure during the tumultuous Bakumatsu era, he allied with the new government in the Boshin War. Nagatomo was subsequently made a member of the new nobility in the Meiji period.

Passing on the headship to his son Kuroda Naganari in 1878, Nagatomo died in Tokyo in 1902, at age 65.
