Marquis Teruhisa Komatsu (小松 輝久 Komatsu Teruhisa?, 12 August 1888 – 15 November 1970) was an admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy in World War II.

Born as HIH Kitashirakawa-no-miya Teruhisa, as the younger son of HIH Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa, his title was devolved from royal status that that of the kazoku peerage in 1910 in order to preserve the Komatsu family line, which had become extinct with the death of Prince Komatsu Akihito in 1908.

Komatsu graduated from the 37th class of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy in 1909 ranked 26th out of 179 cadets. He performed his midshipman training on the cruiser Aso, and after commissioning as an ensign, he served as a crewman on the battleship Satsuma.

As a sub-lieutenant Komatsu attended naval artillery and torpedo schools and served on the Kawachi in 1912. In 1913, he took time out from the Navy to fulfill the obligation of members of his social class to sit for a session in the House of Peers. He later served on the cruiser Soya and battlecruiser Kurama.
