Namiki Gohei I (並木五瓶初代)(1747–1808) was a Kabuki actor and playwright active in both Edo and Osaka. He wrote over 110 plays, mostly in the genres of jidai-mono (historical) and sewa-mono (current events).

Gohei was a student of the playwright Namiki Shōzō I, and may have in fact taken on the name "Namiki" as a result of this relationship.
