Fusen-ryū (不遷流, Fusen-ryū) is a Japanese martial arts koryū founded by Motsugai Takeda. It contains a complete system of martial arts, including unarmed fighting (jujutsu), staff (bōjutsu), short staff (jojutsu), sword (kenjutsu), sword drawing (iaijutsu), glaive (naginatajutsu), scythe (nagikamajutsu), scythe and chain (kusarigamajutsu) and jitte (jittejutsu).

While young compared to other koryu, Fusen-ryū is well known in martial arts circles due to one of its masters, Mataemon Tanabe, and its rivalry with the Kodokan school. Posterior Fusen-ryū practitioners would be Tanabe's students Taro Miyake and Yukio Tani. Also, according to popular belief, Doshin So, the founder of Shorinji Kempo, was trained in Fusen-ryū jujutsu.

Although its jujutsu style is popularly believed to be highly specialized in newaza or groundfighting, as Tanabe himself was, it actually focused rather on gyaku-waza or stand-up grappling, specially wrist locks. Tanabe described his ground strategy as created from his personal experience in jujutsu contests. Otherwise, the Fusen-ryū school featured a complete curriculum of atemi-waza (striking techniques), nage-waza (throwing techniques) and shime-waza (choking techniques).
