Nishio Tadanari (西尾 忠成?, 1653 – November 30, 1713) was a daimyō of the early to mid Edo period, Japan, who ruled the Tanaka and Komoro domains, and was finally transferred to Yokosuka Domain in Tōtōmi Province, where his descendents ruled until the Meiji Restoration.
Nishio Tadanari was the eldest son of Nishio Tadaakira, daimyō of Tanaka Domain in Suruga Province. However, as Tadaakira died in 1654, Tadanari succeeded to the Nishio clan leadership as an infant. Tanaka Domain's revenues under the Nishio had been 25,000 koku; but since Tadanari's uncle Nishio Tadatomo was granted 5000 koku of territory, the domain's income was reduced to 20,000 koku. In 1661 the young Tadanari was received by Shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna, and given the courtesy title of Oki no kami and junior 5th court rank, lower grade. Tanaka Domain reverted to 25,000 koku status upon Nishio Tadatomo's death in 1675; however, soon afterward, in 1679, the Nishio clan was relocated to Komoro Domain in Shinano Province. Tadanari made great efforts to fix the damage caused by the misgovernment of Sakai Tadayoshi, the previous lord of Komoro; however, he was transferred once more (after barely three years in Shinano) to Yokosuka Domain.
