Takamiyama Torinosuke (髙見山酉之助, October 25, 1873 - January 11, 1924) was a Japanese sumo wrestler. He joined Takasago stable, reaching the top makuuchi division in 1907. In the June 1909 tournament, he defeated "ozeki" Tachiyama and won the first "official" championship in the history of the professional sumo. He reached his highest rank of "sekiwake" in January 1910. He reportedly feared Tamatsubaki Kentaro.
