Hasegawa Tōhaku (長谷川 等伯?, 1539 – March 19, 1610) was a Japanese painter and founder of the Hasegawa school of Japanese painting during the Azuchi-Momoyama period.
He was a student of Kanō Eitoku, and is said to have considered himself the stylistic successor to Sesshū.
He painted largely in monochrome ink, in largely Chinese-inspired styles, and is particularly famous for his depictions of monkeys.
