Minamoto no Michichika (源 通親, 1149 – November 7, 1202) was a Japanese noble and statesman of the late Heian period and early Kamakura period. Serving in the courts of seven different emperors, he brought the Murakami Genji to the peak of their success. He is also commonly known as Tsuchimikado Motochika (土御門 通親), and in Sōtō Zen buddhism as Koga no Michichika (久我 通親).
