The Nikaidō clan (二階堂氏 Nikaidō-shi) were Japanese daimyo who ruled over the Iwase District of Mutsu Province during the Sengoku period. Sukagawa Castle was their main residence. The Nikaidō clan were said to be descendents of Fujiwara no Muchimaro, the founder of the southern courts of the Fujiwara clan.
