Niwa Nagakuni (丹羽長国, Niwa Nagakuni); (May 22, 1834-January 15, 1904) was a Japanese samurai of the late Edo period who served as daimyo of Nihonmatsu han and was famous for his leadership of the domain during the Boshin War. Though his domain fought bravely against the forces of the Meiji Government, they were defeated. Following his domain's defeat, as per the government's conditions, he retired, and his adopted son Niwa Nagahiro (brother of the Yonezawa han daimyo Uesugi Mochinori) succeeded him.

During the Meiji era, Nagakuni lived to see the Niwa clan recover some of its fortunes in society, receiving the title of viscount (子爵 shishaku).
