Itakura Katsukiyo (板倉 勝静?, February 14, 1823 – April 6, 1889) was a Japanese daimyo of the late Edo period. Famed for his tenure as rōjū, Itakura later became a Shinto priest.
Itakura, born to the Hisamatsu-Matsudaira of the Kuwana Domain, was adopted by Itakura Katsutsune, the lord of the Matsuyama domain. As a student of Yamada Hōkoku, Itakura worked to reform his domain's administration and finances.
Itakura entered the ranks of the shogunate bureaucracy. He served as jisha-bugyō in 1857-1859 and again in 1861-1862. He became a rōjū in 1862.
Itakura fought in the Boshin War, and served as a staff officer of the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei. He joined the Ezo Republic, and fought at Hakodate. After a short time in prison, he was released in the early 1870s, and later became priest of the Tōshōgu Shrine in Ueno.
