Hirate Hirohide (平手汎秀?) (1553-1572) was a Japanese samurai of the Sengoku period, and an officer under the Oda clan.
During the battle of Mikatagahara, Hirohide was to provide reinforcement to Tokugawa Ieyasu when Takeda Shingen attacked him. When his allies were greatly struggling during the attack by the Takeda, he alone put up a valiant fight even until he was killed.
