Konoe Motomichi (近衛 基通?, 1160 – July 8, 1233) was a Kugyō (high-ranking Japanese official) from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period. His father was Motozane, the founder of Konoe family, and his mother was a daughter of Tadataka. Among his sons is Iezane.
In 1179 Motomichi was promoted to kampaku, regent, as a result of the coup led by Kiyomori, the father of his stepmother. In February of the following year he took the position of sesshō, regent-ship for Emperor Antoku.
