Sunpu jōdai

were officials of the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo period Japan. Appointments to the prominent office of castle warden at Shizuoka were exclusively "fudai" daimyō.Beasley, William G. (1955). "Select Documents on Japanese Foreign Policy, 1853-1868," p. 341.] Conventional interpretations have construed these Japanese titles as "commissioner" or "overseer" or "governor."

This "bakufu" title identifies an official responsible for holding and defending Sunpu Castle (Sunpu"-jō"), also called Shizuoka Castle. [Brinkley, Frank "et al". (1915).
