Sugano no Mamichi (菅野真道?, 741 – July 23, 814), originally known as Tsu no Mamichi (津真道?), was a Japanese noble of the early Heian period. He reached the court rank of ju san-mi (従三位?) and the position of sangi.
In 778, Mamichi was appointed as an assistant draftsman and editor (少内記 shō-naiki?) in the Ministry of the Center. In 783, he was conferred the rank of gai (外?) ju go-i no ge (従五位下?). In this period, he also held various posts in the imperial guard and as a regional administrator. In 785, with the investiture of Prince Ate, the future Emperor Heizei, as Crown Prince, Mamichi was promoted to ju go-i no ge (従五位下?) and appointed the Crown Prince's tutor in the Confucian classics (東宮学士 tōgū-gakushi?). In 790 Mamichi appealed to have his family's rank increased from muraji to ason, and was granted the new family name of Sugano no Ason, based on his place of residence.
