The Sakakibara clan (榊原氏, Sakakibara-shi) are a daimyō branch of the samurai Minamoto clan in Edo period Japan.
In the Edo period, the Sakakibara were identified as one of the fudai or insider daimyō clans which were hereditary vassals or allies of the Tokugawa clan, in contrast with the tozama or outsider clans. The Sakakibara were one of the four families who enjoyed the privilege of providing a regent during the minority of a Shogun.

Famous quotes containing the word clan:
“We cannot think of a legitimate argument why ... whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental.... Given a chance, each clan ... will encounter the world with confidence in its own worth and, most importantly, will be unconcerned about comparing its accomplishments line-by-line with those of any other clan. This is wise ethnocentricism.”
—Richard Herrnstein (1930–1994)
