Nagai Naoyuki (永井 尚志?, December 21, 1816 – July 1, 1896), also known as Nagai Genba (永井 玄蕃?) or Nagai Mondonoshō (永井 主水正?), was a Japanese hatamoto under the Tokugawa of Bakumatsu period Japan.
His great-great-grandchild was Yukio Mishima. Naoyuki's adopted son, Iwanojō Nagai, was the father of Natsu, who was Mishima's grandmother. Iwanojō's real father was Nagasumi Miyoshi (Miyoshi clan) who was a Tokugawa retainer.
Nagai Naoyuki, or as he was first known, Matsudaira Iwanojō (松平 岩之丞?), was born in the Nukada district of the Okutono Domain by a concubine to daimyo Matsudaira Noritada (松平 乗尹?). Noritada, while head of a collateral branch of the Tokugawa clan, was not classified as shinpan, like the Matsudaira of Aizu, but was instead a fudai daimyo. Iwanojō, Noritada's second son, lost his father at the age of three. Subsequently, he was moved to Edo, to the Okutono domain's main residence in Azabu, where he was in the care of his adoptive brother, Matsudaira Noriyoshi (松平 乗羨?), before being adopted by 2000 koku Tokugawa hatamoto Nagai Naonori at the age of 25. Following his adoption he took the adult name of Naoyuki (also read "Naomune").
