Emperor Bidatsu (敏達天皇, Bidatsu-tennō^?, 538 – 14 September 585) was the 30th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.

The years of reign of Bidatsu start in 572 and end in 585; however, there are no certain dates for this emperor's life or reign. The names and sequence of the early emperors were not confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kanmu, who was the 50th monarch of the Yamato dynasty.

Historians consider details about the life of Emperor Bidatsu to be possibly legendary, but probable. The name Bidatsu-tennō was created for him posthumously by later generations.

In the Nihon Shoki, he is called Nunakura no Futotamashiki (渟中倉太珠敷^?).

His palace in Yamato Province was called Osada no Miya of Iware.

In the 15th year of Kimmei's reign, Bidatsu was named Crown Prince.

In the 32nd year of Kimmei-tennō 's reign (欽明天皇32年^?, 572), the old emperor died, and the succession (senso) was received by his second son. Soon after, Emperor Bidatsu is said to have acceded to the throne (sokui).
