Tokugawa Ienobu (1662 - 1712) was the sixth Tokugawa Shogun (r. 1709 - 12), who employed Arai Hakuseki.

Born as the grandson of the third Shogun Iemitsu, Ienobu employed Manabe Akifusa and took the advice of Arai Hakuseki.

The administration, identified with its peace and prosperity of Ienobu and the seventh Shogun Ietsugu, is known as Shotoku no Chi, named after a Japanese era.
