Hōei Nojiri (野尻抱影, Nojiri Hōei, November 15, 1885 – October 30, 1977) was a Japanese essayist and astronomer. He was a brother of the novelist Nojiri Haruhikoˀ, whose pen name was Osaragi Jirō.

In 1930 he coined the Japanese word Meiōsei (冥王星, "Star of the King (God) of the Underworld") for the newly discovered planet Pluto. The name was then borrowed into Chinese and Korean.^[1]^[2]^[3]
