Takehisa Tsuji (Japanese: 辻 武寿, Tsuji Takehisa; 3 April 1918 – 30 April 2012) was a Japanese politician, religious leader, and elementary school teacher who served as the second leader of Komeito between 1964 and 1967.

Due to his longtime membership in the Soka Gakkai's earlier days, he became known, along with Kōji Harashima and Takashi Koizumi, as one of the "Kamata trio," referring to a location found in Ōta-ku ward, which is an important location to Soka Gakkai history. In addition to his time at Komeito, he was also a top leader in Soka Gakkai, even reaching the position of Vice President at one point. He was also involved with the Hokkekō lay organisation of mainstream Nichiren Shōshū.
