Seiichi Kuno (久納 誠一 Kuno Seiichi?, 4 March 1887 – 13 March 1962) was a lieutenant general in the Imperial Japanese Army in the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Kuno graduated from the 18th class of the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1905, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the cavalry. He graduated with honors from the 26th class of the Army Staff College in 1914. After serving briefly on the Imperial Japanese Army General Staff, Kuno was assigned as aide-de-camp to Prince Fushimi Sadanaru from 1915-1917. From 1917-1919, he was sent as a military observer to France and with the French Army in Romania during World War I.

After his return to Japan, Kuno served in a number of administrative and staff positions, including that of Secretary to the Governor-General of Korea in 1927.

From 1927-1929, Kuno commanded the IJA 28th Cavalry Regiment. He was instructor at the Army War College from 1929–1932, and at the Cavalry School from 1932-1933. In 1933, he became Chief of Staff of the IJA 8th Division.

Kuno was briefly Commandant of the Cavalry School in 1935, before being appointed commander of the IJA 4th Cavalry Brigade. He was promoted to major general in 1936.
