Fujiwara no Yoshitaka (藤原 義孝, 954–974) was a Japanese waka poet of the mid-Heian period. One of his poems was included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu. He produced a private waka collection, the Yoshitaka-shū.
He served as captain of the right bodyguards (右少将, ushōshō).[1][2] He was the father of the respected calligrapher Yukinari.[1] When his father died, Yoshitaka considered ordaining as a Buddhist monk. In the same year his son was born, which dissuaded him from pursuing a religious career.
He died in 974, at age twenty, of smallpox, on the same day as his twin brother.[1][2]
