The Fujiwara Hok-ke Family (藤原北家, lit. Fujiwara northern house) was cadet branch of the House of Fujiwara of Japan.

The other three were the Nan-ke, Kyō-ke and Shiki-ke. The Hok-ke branch issued the de facto rulers of Japan through their hereditary position as imperial regents (Sesshō and Kampaku). In the Kamakura period, it further split into the Five regent houses, who continued to monopolize the regency from the 12th century until 1868. After the Meiji Restoration, these houses were appointed Prince in the new hereditary peerage.
