The Yanagisawa clan (柳沢氏, Yanagisawa-shi) was a Japanese samurai clan who rose to prominence under the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate. The main branch of the clan ruled as daimyō of Kōriyama Domain in Yamato Province (150,120 koku) until the Meiji restoration, and was subsequently unbowed with the kazoku peerage title of hakushaku (count).
