Asakura Norikage (朝倉 教景?, 1477 – September 23, 1555), also known as Asakura Sōteki (朝倉 宗滴), was the eighth son of Asakura Toshikage and a powerful figure during the early Sengoku period of Feudal Japan.
In 1506, he led the Asakura to victory against militant monks from Hongan-ji in battle at the Kuzuryū River, despite unfavorable numbers.
In 1548, he became a priest and changed his name to Soteki; however, this did not keep him from engaging in war.
He engaged in his last campaign at the age of 79 against Ikkō adherents. He died of natural causes during this campaign.
