The Owari-Tokugawa ( Japanese 尾張 徳 川 家 , Owari Tokugawa-ke ) were one of the three families that descended from the youngest sons of Tokugawa Ieyasu and thus belonged to the Shinpan daimyō . With an income of 250,000 koku , they were the largest of the three branch families ( gosanke ).

The family's art treasures are on display at the Tokugawa Art Museum. The family's property is now managed by the Tokugawa Reimeikai ( 徳 川黎明 会 ) charitable foundation , chaired by the head of the Owari-Tokugawa.
