Fujiwara no Tanetsugu (藤原 種継?, 737 – November 4, 785) was a Japanese noble of the late Nara period. He was the grandson of the sangi Fujiwara no Umakai, the founder of the Fujiwara Shikike. He reached the court rank of shō san-mi (正三位?) and the position of chūnagon. He was posthumously awarded the rank of shō ichi-i (正一位?) and the position of daijō-daijin.
The Shoku Nihongi first mentions Tanetsugu in 766, when he was promoted from ju roku-i no jō (従六位上?) to ju go-i no ge (従五位下?). Two years later, in 768, he was appointed as governor of Mimasaka Province.
