About Nanbu Nobuoki
- Nanbu Nobuoki (????, 6 November 1678 – 31 December 1707) was a mid-Edo period Japanese samurai, and the 5th daimyo of Morioka Domain in northern Japan.

- Nobuoki was the 3rd son of Nanbu Yukinobu, the 4th daimyo of Morioka Domain.

- As a result, the domain's finances were plunged further into arrears.
- During his short tenure, he was unable to overturn the strong influence of Confucianism introduced by his father into the domain's administration, and died on 31 December 1707 at a relatively young age.On his death, his half-brother Nanbu Toshimoto, was adopted as his heir.
- However, Nobuoki's widow subsequently gave birth to a posthumous son, Nanbu Toshimi, who was later adopted by Nanbu Tomomoto, thus maintaining the direct line of succession.
