Hōjō Tokiyuki (北条時行)(d. 1353) was a samurai of the Hōjō clan who fought both for and against the Imperial Court. His father was Hōjō Takatoki.

Originally, Tokiyuki fought against Imperial forces and those of the Ashikaga, in order to preserve the Kamakura shogunate, over which the Hōjō had significant influence. After the 1333 siege of Kamakura, he escaped to Shinano province and the home of Suwa Yorishige, where he gathered an army with which to return. He re-entered Kamakura in 1335, forcing Ashikaga Tadayoshi to flee before he was forced to flee himself by Ashikaga Takauji.

Shortly afterwards, Tokiyuki asked to be pardoned by the Emperor Go-Daigo, and formally entered into the service of the Southern Court, fighting under the command of Kitabatake Akiie, and later Prince Munenaga. He also aided in the 1352 recapture of Kamakura, led by Nitta Yoshioki. However, when Nitta was pursued by Ashikaga Takauji, and sought refuge in Echigo Province, Tokiyuki fled to Sagami province, where he was discovered and beheaded by forces loyal to the Ashikaga.
