Hiraoka Michiyori

nihongo|Hiraoka Michiyori|平岡通倚 (?-?) was a Japanese samurai of the Azuchi-Momoyama Period, who served in the campaigns of the Toyotomi clan, as a vassal to the Kono clan. His court title was "Tōtōmi no kami". He inherited family headship from his father Fusazane, as well as rulership of Ebara Castle. In 1585, during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Invasion of Shikoku, Michiyori led the defense of Yuzuki castle against the attack by Kobayakawa Takakage.

His grave is at Jōruri-ji Temple in modern-day Matsuyama, Ehime.
