Koriki Kiyonaga (高力 清長; 1530 – March 12, 1608) was a daimyo during both the Azuchi-Momoyama period and Edo period. He was one of the so-called "family daimyo" due to his support of the Tokugawa before and during the Battle of Sekigahara. His father was Koriki Yasunaga.
Born in Mikawa Province, in 1552 he served Tokugawa Ieyasu. Amano Yasukage and Honda Shigetsugu and Kiyonaga were appointed as bugyo when Ieyasu ruled Mikawa Province. People described Yasukage as discreet, Shigetsugu as tough and Kiyonaga as generous. Because of that, Kiyonaga was also known as Hotoke Koriki (仏高力).
Despite being a bugyo in Mikawa Province, Kiyonaga was active in various battles, for example, transporting provisions to Otaka castle at the Battle of Okehazama, the suppression of Ikkō-ikki in Mikawa Province, the expedition to Totomi Province, the participation in Battle of Komaki and Nagakute and the ship construction for the Seven-Year War. He was a most active fudai daimyo contributing to reunifying Japan by Ieyasu. In 1590, he was praised for his credit and was given 20,000 koku at Iwatsuki, Musashi Province.
He was preceding in death by his son Koriki Masanaga. Retiring after the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, he transferred responsibility for the family to his grandchild, Koriki Tadafusa.
