The Hori ( Japanese 堀 氏 , Hori-shi ) were a family of the Japanese sword nobility ( Buke ) from the province of Mino , which was derived from Fujiwara no Uona .

With an income of 17,000 Koku , the wealthiest branch of the Hori residing in Iida ( Nagano Prefecture ) belonged to the smaller Tozama daimyo of the Edo period . At the beginning of the Edo period, however, the family had a total income of around 500,000 koku until after a dispute between Hori Tadatoshi, Naokiyo and Naoyori in 1610 the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu deprived them of their territories and banished the former both.
